Issue with Combobox Selected.Values

(1) Share

Posted on by JWeblin

I have recently started having issues with combo boxes where I cannot get information about the selected item in the combo box.

For example, an ID number for the selected item, combobox.selected.ID now returns nothing, unless I manually change the data layout to include it, at which point it will work up until the next time I leave the app and come back.

This is causing no end of frustration, the data is all there - as mentioned it will work when I manually change the data layout to include it.

Has anyone else ran into similar issues?

Hi @JWeblin

Please explain with the code etc and what is happening around it, it would only do that if it doesn't think it has somethign selected.

Show us a case, where it has a Record assigned to it, while running the app, but it gives you no value.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

Thank You

Hi both @FLMike, @WarrenBelz ,

I have a simple course list in Dataverse with two test courses, the Items for the combo box are as follows:

On the page:

There is a text box just to the right where I am testing which should show the value of the selected Course ID.

However as you can see in the image it remains blank. When I change the data layout of the combo box to include the Course ID, then it will pick it up.

Just as a further example, the commented out line using just the combo box gives no date (just like no Course ID), but the second lookup does.

If I use a combo box and turn off allow searching it does work as expected, however the app will require searching in the future.
