ComboBox Default value, doesn't works correctly since the last big update

Posted on 24 Nov 2024 19:40:26 by 18
Hello Community,

I am encountering an issue with the ComboBox menu since the last big update (2 weeks ago). When a ComboBox is inside an edit form (not a new form), if the item is not blank, the ComboBox default value highlights the value recorded in my database. However, if I select another item that is blank, the default value becomes the last record selected (from the previous item) instead of being blank.

I have not found any information about this problem. If I use a dropdown menu, there is no issue.

Do you have a solution, or does this mean I will have to use a dropdown menu instead of a ComboBox when using an edit form?

Thanks a lot for your feedback

    Just a comment on your observation Is related to Modern Control ComboBox. Classic are to classic ;), I stopped to use them a long time ago.
    Modern controls are still mostly in Preview and many are not really production-ready presently - I have not turned them on in any production apps at this time. It may be useful to try a Classic control and if it works, then the issue is the control itself.

    Hello Everyone,
     
    Is related to Modern Control ComboBox. Classic are to classic ;), I stopped to use them a long time ago.
     

    I’m going to try to explain this situation a bit more clearly.
    Imagine a SharePoint list with two items: one is fully completed, and the other is empty.

    In my application, I’ve added a gallery to display the items and a form for viewing and updating data.
    If I click on the first item (the one that is fully completed), my ComboBox displays the default value. For example, let’s say the default value is the word Hello.

    Now, when I click on the second item in the gallery (the one that is empty), the default value in the ComboBox should either show the placeholder text or remain blank. However, instead of showing the placeholder text or being blank, the ComboBox still displays the word Hello!

    Now, If I select the word "Goodbye" in this combobox and save. And go back to my first item, the word hello is visible, then I click on the second item, the word Goodbye is visible.
     

    This issue only occurs when the data is empty, and it didn’t exist before the last update.

    I hope this explanation is clearer now.

    Hope it's more clear

    Is this a Modern or Classic control - if Modern, test on Classic item.
