I am experiencing a weird bug where there is a blank choice, or ghost choice, in a combobox.

See screenshot below:

The advanced properties for the combobox:

Combobox items:

Any ideas? I think it may be a bug in the combobox itself, because it was prevalent in a different combobox and has since disappeared.

TIA

Yes—this “ghost/blank choice” in ComboBox is a known quirk in Microsoft Power Apps, especially when using Choice columns from Dataverse

Workarounds

Filter out blanks (most effective)

Filter(
Choices('ISO Document Type'),
!IsBlank(Value)
)

I was facing similar issue and fixed as above

@BF-02121120-0,

I tried to replicate the same thing, I am not experience any issues. Just check in the backend do you have any blank values if yes remove the blank values in the backend.

Distinct(Filter(Choices([@'5000Records'].'field_1'),!IsBlank([@'5000Records'].'field_1')),Value)

I have tried both of those options and still the issue persists:

Items:

Choices:

Like I said in my header, this has happened before but it went away. I might just leave it for a while to see if it resolves itself. It's not a major priority, but still nice to have.
