Bug: Combo Box inside Gallery

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 284

Hi,

 

I believe I am experiencing a bug with the Combo Box control when it is embedded inside a gallery. In this bug the available "Items" to choose from appears empty when it should not. To recreate the bug I have put together the following simplified example. 

 

1) Create a button to create the following test collection.

ClearCollect(
 Collection1,
 {
 Question: "a",
 Options: ["Option1","Option2","Option3"]
 },
 {
 Question: "b",
 Options: ["Option3","Option4","Option5"]
 },
 {
 Question: "c",
 Options: ["Option6","Option7","Option8"]
 }
)

2) Create a gallery and assign "Collection1" as the datasource. 

3) Add a label and set the text to ThisItem.Question

4) Add add the follwing controls and set the "Items" property of all the controls to:

ThisItem.Options 

    You will now have a screen like this. Notice how the available options for the Radio control, Listbox and drop down have successfully been populated based on the options in that row.

5) Now expand the Combo Box and Note that no options will appear in the drop down..

This does not happen when we use the combobox outside of a gallery.
For your reference I have exported the simple test app used to recreate the bug.

    Hi @AnthonyPhan,

     

    I have made a test, and the issue is confirmed on my side.

     

    Within the Gallery control, when I type the following formula within the Items property of Combo box control to following formula:

    ThisItem.Options

    The options (Option1, Option2, Option3) would not be populated within the Combo box control.

     

    I would post this issue to my product team, If the issue is solved, I would reply here.

     

    Currently, as an alternative solution, please take a try with the following workaround:

     

    Set the Items property of the Combo box control to following formula:

    LookUp(Collection1,Question=ThisItem.Question,Options)

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
