Combo box for a lookup column

Hi All,

I am trying to use the Browse Gallery for my entire app.  Viewing existing data as well as adding or updating items in the SPO list.

 

I place an edit button on the items where I load a variable with the item ID.

when the item ID = the VAR-ID each of the 3 inputs become editable on the screen!

I have a drop down and in the items I added

If(VarItemID=ThisItem.ID,Choices(EmployeeDefaultTimeAllocations.LocationName),ThisItem.LocationName).

this works great as well, if its in view mode it displays what is in the list, if it's in Edit mode I have the option to choose any items from the dropdown.

the issue is that I have 100 locations and I want the user to able to start typing the location number or a letter that will bring them to the item in the list.  this doesn't not seem to be working at all. 

When I drop the list and type in "A" it stays on the first item in the list, it does not go to the first "A" item as I would expect it to.

 

TIA,

Joe

    Hey...

     

    Combo Box should manage searching, though check that you have search enabled on that field.   If its actually a drop down, then that has no search.

    Thank you!!  It was a drop down, not a combo!

     

    Thanks again,

    Joe
