Displaying Choice Items in a Gallery

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 70
Hello! I am currently trying to populate a label item inside of a gallery with a list of choices from a Dataverse table. Currently, I am trying to do this with 
Concat(ThisItem.job_tags.Value, ", ")
This populates the commas and has the correct number of commas corresponding with number of items, but does not actually show the values of the choices themselves. How can I set it to display the choices that the user selects?

    It sounds like you are hitting a classic Power Apps quirk with Dataverse Choice (multi-select) columns. When you see the commas but no text, it usually means you're pointing at the record object rather than the specific text field that holds the "friendly" name.
    In Dataverse, multi-select choice columns are essentially a table of objects. To get the readable text, you need to reference the .Value or sometimes the .Name property depending on your specific connector version, but usually, it's about how you handle the Concat scope.
    The Solution
    Try updating your formula to explicitly reference the value within the Concat function:
    Concat(ThisItem.job_tags, Value, ", ")
    Why your current formula isn't showing text
    Here is a quick breakdown of why ThisItem.job_tags.Value often fails in this context:
    The "Table" vs. "Column" issue: ThisItem.job_tags is already a table. When you add .Value outside the Concat (like ThisItem.job_tags.Value), you are trying to treat a whole list as a single value.
    Scope: Inside the Concat() function, the second argument is where you tell Power Apps which field from that table to flatten into text.
