How to display multiple values from sharepoint into combobox

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by YamiteKudasai 195

Hello Everyone, 

Good day!

 

I have a lookup column in sharepoint 

YamiteKudasai_0-1662976519920.png

named TypeChoice of choice. so the data displays like this :

So the question is. How would I display this in combo box as defaultselecteditems.  I tried the other method but it made the defaultitems blank

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    I created a combo and used the 'Choices' function to get all the lookup values:

    And set the defaultselecteditems as the sharepoint item .LookUpColumn

    If it is not what you want please share more info about it.

    I hope it helps 🙂

    I think this is not what I'm looking for. 
    Example: 
    I have 2 list. 

     

    First List name is platform. platform holds the choices like: HDL Senso, PWD, SUD.

     

    I have 2nd list named Items List.  that has column platform

     

    So the platform column of Items list is a Lookup to platform list. 

     

    What I want to get is example. I set a variable name Set(gvCurrentRequest, LookUp('Items List', ID=1)). 

    If gvCurrentRequest is not Blank() I want to display in default selected items the data from items list. 

    Example:

    Got it.

    Set the combobox items to

     

    Choices('Items List'.<columnplatform>) // columnplatform is the lookup column

     

     and set the defaultselecteditems to 

     

    If(
 !IsBlank(gvCurrentRequest),
 gvCurrentRequest.<columnplatform> // columnplatform is the lookup column
)

     

     

     replace <columnplatform> with the name of your lookupcolumn
