Combobox in Edit Form to display selectable values

I have a gallery that the user would select to edit and it populates on a edit form.... When in edit form my combo box changes to single line input text field which is how the column is in SharePoint... how can I make it behave like when in new form so it displays all selectable items.

 

In new form

    You were correct... It was a text input field. I changed them to combobox it works for my study column box, but for my invoiceable column it does show the list of invoiceable but it won't display the selected value from the gallery even thought I can see it when parent.default is entered.

    Are you using 2 different form controls for your list? One for New records, and a different one for Editing records?

    If so, I would first check that the input controls for the Study and Invoiceable fields are setup as Comboboxes and not TextInputs. Look for the controls typically labeled as DataCardValue#. If they are TextInputs, then add a Combobox to the DataCard and set it up in the same manner as the Combobox from the New Form. 

    Once you have the Combobox added, ensure you update the DataCard Update property to reference the new Combobox, and ensure you set it up the same as you have the Update property for the field set up on the New Form.

     

    Let me know if that helps, or if you run into any other issues.
