Convert comma separated list to Combobox selection

Posted on by TMProgUser

I have a SharePoint list where I save the state selected from a drop down to a text field. Everything is working great. I was asked to convert this to allow multiple selections of states. I created a combo box and am successfully saving a comma separated list to the text field.

I am struggling to get these values set as the default selected items of the combo box. I have seen postings on how to do this. This is one example. http://powerappsguide.com/blog/post/set-combobox-data-source-to-comma-separated-string. But I still do not have it correct. Any assistance is appreciated.

I start by collecting the states.

In the Items property for the combo box I have the collection.

I save the returned record to varRecord. In the DefaulfSelectedItems I have the following, but as you can see I am getting errors.

In the DisplayFields I have Code base on the collection I created.

I figured out the issue. I didn't need the RenameColumns. Once I removed that portion and just did a Split, it worked.

Did you set the combox to allow multiple selection?
