Hi,

So I have a combo box (ComboBoxProduct) which has this formula. The source is sharepoint list by the way:

Items: Sort(Distinct(LookupList,Title),Result)

Default: blank

ComboBoxProduct is under data card ProductDataCard

ProductDataCard has this detail:

Update: ComboBoxProduct.Selected.Result

So after submitting it and if I need to edit the entry, the combobox resets to resets and I have to select the choice I have initially entered. Texts are retained so I do not have issues on that.

For pictures (see filename):

Edit - it shows product xxx, but when I click on the edit button

Edit1 - it goes back to like creating a new one. What I am expecting is that it should retain the product xxx selection

Thanks!

Hi@CatPagulayan,
Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to keep the ComboBox selected item within after submitting the form?
Could you please share a bit more about your scenario：
How you set the OnSelect property of the Edit Button?
How you create your EditForm, from scratch with custom cards or based on the SP list?
When it comes to setting ComboBox selected items, we always pay attention to the DefaultSelectedItems property.
I have a test on my side which reproduces the issue you mentioned, please take a try as below.
I create an App containing BrowseScreen with a BrowseGallery1, DetailScreen with a DeatilForm, EditScreen with an EditForm, via my SP list 'ListData'.
Here is how I set the OnSelect property of the Edit Button:

EditForm(EditForm1);Navigate(EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None)

The Title is a Text column by default in my SP list, I replace the corresponding TextInput control within the DataCard with a ComboBox. Set the Items property of the ComboBox as below:

Sort(Distinct(ListData,Title),Result)

Set the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox as below:

{Value:ThisItem.Title}

Best Regards,
Qi
