Hello All, 

 

That is a combo box which is from another list (look up. Let's say the listB). 

 

Everything is fine, except for the existing data (old data) where the items had different values compared to the listB. When I attempted to open the form for editing or viewing purposes, the form failed to display the old data; instead, it only showed the data based on the lookup listB.
