Exceeded SP Lookup limit—How to make lookup fields?

Power Apps Team,

 

I’m trying to populate a SharePoint column from a drop down drawn from data in another list.

 

Simplified example:

SPList1:  Column UserName, Column FavoriteFood

SPList2: Column FoodName

All columns are single line of text

 

What I’ve done so far:

  1. Create EditForm1 from SPList1
  2. For the FavoriteFood DataCard, remove the Text Box and insert ComboBox1
  3. ComboBox1 Items=SPList2.FoodName
  4. DataCard Update = Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, FavoriteFood)

I’m having trouble showing the chosen item in the ComboBox after EditForm1 is submitted.

 

Assumptions:

  1. The example above is simplified.
  2. I can’t use an SP Lookup column because I’ve exceeded the SP limit for number of lookup columns. I need 50+ lookups that choose from 8 rows in a single list.  I’m using Collections to filter out this table.
  3. I would like to avoid Choice Columns, because the real version of SPList2 is 150 items long and will need to be updated. 

 

Request:
Can someone share the properties that they would use to set up an EditForm/ComboBox in my example?  (Links are helpful too.)

 

Regards
