SharePoint List linked dropdown only showing blank entries

Posted on by Mattpst 119
Apologies if this has already been answered here. I have a PowerApps canvas app that has a dropdown linked to a SharePoint list (it's my list so I have edit perms). The data source is correctly linked, I have selected the data source for the dd so that it points to the correct SharePoint List.

When I preview the app the correct number options are displayed in the dd, but they are all blank?




 
If I add/remove items to the SharePoint List the returned options in the dd change accordingly, so I am pretty happy I have a connection. I've got 4 dd's connected to different lists and they all do the same thing.
 
 
 
What have I missed - hopefully something simple!
 
 
 
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
 
Matt

    I managed to get this working. There was more than one field selected from the list selected against the drop down. I cleared all and added back the specific column identifier and it worked. Thanks for the hint Kameshm05 :)

    The DD's all have corresponding fields selected. I have checked and if I add new rows in the corresponding Lists, the blank entries in the DD increase also.

    I'm experiencing the same issue. I think it's something to do with the new preview drop down. I have exactly the same code in an older app which works, but a new one I am building just brings back blank fields.

    Hi @kameshm05
     
    The appropriate fields are selected field properties. If I change the backend SharePoint list, the number of returned items in the dropdown list change to match, but remain invisible.

    Hi Mattpst,

    Can you check the fields property for the dropdown? You should select the any one of the field from the fields property if it is not showing anything.




    Please reply here if it is not solve your problem.

    Thanks
