    Hi @KhushiMurkya24 ,

     

    If you want to show the options of Choices column in a table, the formula in Items of a Combo box control is:

    Choices(TableName.ChoicesColumnName)

    Hi @KhushiMurkya24 ,

     

    I have a custom Dataverse table IceCream where includes three entries.

    In my app, I have added the connection of this table, and a Dropdown control with Items property set to the table:

    vjefferni_0-1701337117955.png

    vjefferni_2-1701337353987.png

     

    and now you can see the primary name column values are showing up as choices in the Dropdown.

     

    Best regards,
