Hi All,

Please help as i've been stck on this for the last month.

My combobox is not showing the default value. I can see it in the command line but it doesn't display on the combobox itself.

Items = SortByColumns(AddColumns('EAP - Locations Queensland',"FullLocations",Concatenate(Title,", ",State,", ",Postcode)),"Title")

It displays the values when I have a new form and save. Its when I go back into it and 'edit' form that it doesn't show the value in the combobox.

PLEASE HELP!! 😭

Hi @Cel87 ,

There in nothing wrong with your Items (small suggestion below)

SortByColumns( AddColumns( 'EAP - Locations Queensland', "FullLocations", Title & ", " & State & ", " & Postcode ), "Title" )

but this is more about your DefaultSelectedItems. Assuming you are displaying the Title column in your Combo Box (use the actual field name it is reading from here) it should be

{Title: ThisItem.YourFieldName}

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @WarrenBelz,

Thank you for your response. I tried this and although it doesn't give an error it still doesn't show the value.

I even tried DefaultSelectedItems = {FullLocations:Gallery1.Selected.Locations1}

Still no change. I don't know where I've gone wrong. I'm literally teaching myself as I go with powerapps. 😢

Hi @Cel87 ,

The DefaultSelectedItems needs two values

The field name that is being displayed in your Combo Box

The field name in your data source that you are reading from /writing to

Can you please confirm these and also the field type of the second item.

@WarrenBelz
I have two locations where it reads from then writes too.
The 'EAP - Location Queensland' is the list that the combo box gets the locations from.
Then it writes back to another list ('Events', Locations1). The Locations1 is a text field that it stores too.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi @Cel87 ,

The first part of the question related to the Items of the Combo Box (which you have provided), but what field name it is displaying - you will find this by selecting the combo box and choosing Edit from the right panel.

@WarrenBelz the above screenshot is what comes up when I click on 'Edit'.
It lists the Data to the left (FullLocations, Title, Postcode, State, Latitidue, Lonitude, LGA, Electorate & {Attachments})

Hi @WarrenBelz,
Mine doesn't give me that visual. Would it be because I'm using the modern control view?
