Multi-select choice column in power apps

Hi all,

I am currently working on power apps. I have created some custom forms and I have a combobox (the classic one). That combobox should list all the available choices of a multi-select choice column. The column has 15 available options and the user can select multiple choices. I have set the combobox to "Allow multi-selection" and in the items I am trying to do "Choices(MyTable.MyColumn). For non multi-select choice columns this expression seems to work. On the "Display Fields" property I have added ["Value"] and I might need to add some default selected items for the editing mode. The thing is I have two comboboxes set with the same items and fields and it seems that on the first one the combobox does not present any values. It is like the option set is empty. On the second one I seem to be getting correct the choices. On both cases there is an error icon that shows up and once I click on it I do not get to any error (gets me to the "Accessible Label" property). Does anyone have any experience with this before? It seems really weird.

Thank you in advance!

Hi!

If you want to see the application verifications, here it is:

For the error, I think you get it cause you try to use 2 components linked on the same DataCardValue. You should validate what is in bold properties of your combobox. Bold properties have formulas in it:

Now, I thnik you can identify the error. Since we don,t have much informations about the error, I can't do much.

I hope it helps!

Hi,

So let me talk to the "clicked and went to accessibility"

When you click the red error, you may need to keep clicking it until it actually goes to the code where its got the error.

I know I know silly but true, as it will cycle through different things, such as it probably went to Accessibility first, because I bet there is a Warning saying, hey.. you need to put something in Accessibility due to needing Accessibility. So it cycles through all warning and error "properties" in the control where the little error icon is.

as for why they are blank, you gotta share pictures bud, we cannot see your screen so using words only to explain a visual issue is not as helpful as pictures :-)
