Dear community,

 

Try to hardcode items in the combobox:

[
"Voornaam";
"Achternaam";
"Afdeling";
"Titel";
"Computer";
"Badgenummer";
"Gebruikersid"
]

 

But i get numbers instead. Found a simular question but do not understand the answer:

PowerApps for Teams - Issue with Combobox Values

 

Also when i click on add fiels i get a panel that is not highlighted !!!

What do i do wrong?

 

P

    The items Datasource(Item) is not hardcoded that is coming form a table or a collection 
    Could you share your Item property for the combo box ?

    I will guess you are using Modern Comboboc control
    If I am right 
    Try this in the screenshot below
