Form fills random values in modern dropdown control

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 86
Hello all,
I have a very, never seen earlier, behavior in a large form (modern control} the form is connected to a SharePoint list. The form has 52 fields so it is big.
There are 12 dropdown controls. When I first builded the list in Sharepoint. Thes columns where single line of text. Later I changed them to choices columns with 'requierd field or Must have a value' to false. I deleted the data cards in the form and later added the datacards connected to the new choices columns.
Now in about 20% of the dropdowns appears a random value out of the choices. So, even when i Ieave the dropdown blank it somethimes will return a random value.
It happens in different records and there is no logical behavior to see. Only that happens sometimes in all the dropdown collumns.

Last thing to know When I added the dropdown card they wher down at my list of field in teh form. A also use a modern listtab control so, I prettymuch reordering of field toe do get get them all good and correct visible on TabList.value 2.

I hope someone has a sollution

    Hi,
     
    Did you tried classic form with classic controls? Modern controls are still in preview: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/modern-controls/modern-controls-reference
     
    It is not recommended to use preview features in production.

    I solved it. It was an issue in the settings of the column in the sharepoint list. 
    The behavior was that the list didn't see a default and just picked a value. But anyhow it's solves now.
