Repeating Field Based On ComboBox

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hey everyone,

We have a form where the submitter can select a list of employees using a Combo Box. What I'm trying to do is when an employee is selected, I want a repeating field to appear below. The left-most column will have the users name, but then 3-4 more text options will appear on the right for each entry in the Combo Box.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

Hi @Anonymous,

Do you want to add Text Input controls for each selected user in Combo Box?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

I think you could add a Gallery and insert an TextInput control, then set the Items property as below:

Sequence(CountRows(ComboBox3.SelectedItems))

Apologies if this is a simple question, this is my first PowerApp.
You applied that formula to a gallery or the Textbox?
How do I add more fields to the right of every row?
- On every row we're hoping to have 2-3 fields for the user to select from/type information into.
Last one - Is there a way to have the textboxes display a value from the combobox?

Hi @Anonymous,

I think I have mentioned that this Items property is for Gallery, because TextInput does not have an Items property.

Please try to learn more about the control and search properties for control in property search bar.

In addition, I don't really get what you want to achieve in the canvas app, what do you mean by repeating fields and text options.

I thought you want to add TextInput as how many you select users from the Combo Box.

Is there a way to have the textboxes display a value from the combobox?

If Combo Box allows single select, set the Text property of the Label as ComboBox1.Selected.ColumnName.
