Posted on by 192

Hi all,

I have a gallery table and inside and i have a column that is a combo box with drop down that is collecting the data from sharepoint list.

I want to add to the combo box the possible to add manual value I know how to do it in datacard 'update' property but I don't have datacard only combo box.

Do you know a way to allow manual value?

    You can achieve this by following these steps:

    1. Start by creating a collection to store your choices. You can do this in the OnVisible or OnStart event of your app using the ClearCollect function:

    ClearCollect(colChoices, ["New", "In Progress", "Cancel", "Resolved"])

    2. Next, add your collection to the Items property of your ComboBox control.

    3. Enable the "Allow Searching" option on your ComboBox.

    4. Create a button or icon that allows users to add a manual choice. Configure the OnSelect property of the button as follows

    Collect(colChoices, ComboBox1.SearchText);
    Reset([@ComboBox1]) //Clears out searchText so user knows they need to reselect

    With these steps completed, you'll have a finished demo:

    1. When a user clicks the drop-down and starts typing a manual choice, they can then click the button to add their choice.

    2. The manually added choice will be included in the drop-down list for selection.

    This setup allows users to dynamically add choices to the ComboBox, providing flexibility and customization in your app.
