SharePoint list submissions not showing in Edit form

Hello folks,

I have an app where MOST of the submitted entries display properly in Edit mode. There are some specific fields that are not showing, and I believe it to be because these fields are populated by separate SharePoint lists (tables).

I have one SP list for Locations, one for Training and one for Branches. All are connected to the app, along with the main SP list.

These lists are essentially tables, allowing the users to have cascading drop downs.

Anything selected from any of these "table" lists, save perfectly into the main list, but when the user selects their record from a gallery to make any edits, the selections made against the tables, do not appear in the edit form.

Is there a way to have these appear?

Thank you

Hello again @AuburnMist

Noticing that these are all dropdowns in your form, you will need to look at the Default property of those controls to determine the problem. The Default property on the dropdown must contain a text property to match a displayed field of your dropdown.

If they are Comboboxes, then you need to look at the DefaultSelectedItems (DSI) property. In that case, the DSI must supply a record that will match a record of your Items property.

So...let's start with those.

What are the control types you are using and if Dropdown, what is the Default and Items property.

If Combobox, then what is the DSI and Items property?

Hi Randy! Thanks for replying. I was able to find out that I lacked any info in the DSI properties. I added where necessary and was able to make it work!
Since I have your attention now (lol), I sent you a private message last week. Any chance you have a moment to have a peek?
Thanks!

Good deal...glad that pointed you in the right direction.

I have been horrible lately on checking PM's. I've only been able to get a little bit of time here and there for jumping on the forum and responding to questions...so, my apologies that I didn't check PM's. I will look at it right now!
