First Value of the combo box getting preselected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi @v-jefferni 

 

I have a person type column in my SharePoint List and combo box in PowerApps for a people picker.

 

For this single selection Combo box,  I have following property 

 

For the single selection people column, Update should be:

 

{Claims: ComboBox.Selected.Mail}

 

DSI: First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.ColumnName.Email}))

 

Items : Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ComboBox1_3.SearchText})

Default Selected Information : First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.Primary_risk_owner.Email}))

Update : {Claims: ComboBox1_3.Selected.Mail}

 

The problem is, if the column value is blank, the first value of the combo box is getting selected 

 

 Not Matter what I set in the default value, there is always a preselected one in the combo box. 

 

I have set the default as Blank (), then also the first Item get preselected.
