Can't connect drop down component to SharePoint List

I'm sure this is really simple but this has had me going round in circles. I can't connect drop down component to SharePoint List.

 

I've created a new canvas app, added my connection to the SharePoint list and added a dropdown list to the canvas. Following the Microsoft instructions here: 

 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/sharepoint/scenarios-choice-to-lookup#example

 

I have added a dropdown box to the app and set:

But get the following error:

I have tried every connotation of syntax from any forum I can find but nothing works. Can anyone put me out of my misery?

 

Thanks in advance,
Matt

    Basic question, but field_2 is a Lookup, Choice, or Managed Metadata column type, correct?
