Posted on 21 Nov 2024 10:44:03 by 4

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a PowerApps form that submits data to a SharePoint list. One of the dropdowns in the form (IssueCombo) is currently a ComboBox displaying filtered values from the Title column of the "Operational Issues" SharePoint list.

  • Users should also be able to manually input a value if the desired option is not listed.
  • The manually entered value should then be saved in the Title column upon form submission.
Here’s an excerpt of the YAML code for the form:

    hey
     
     
    as of now i and many others wont suggest using modern controls as of now. and really really not in produvtive apps.
     
    they are still in preview and buggy as hell, you never know when issues may come up. if they work today it does not mean they work tomorrow.
     
     
    stick to classic controls as of now.
     
     
    if my answer helped please mark as verified answer,
     
     
    cheers
