Edit form resets (clears) the items that were previously selected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 28

My Edit form resets (clears) the items that were previously selected in the Devices field. I need these items to remain when the form is placed in edit mode.

In SharePoint, the Devices column is a text field and I defined the values as a ComboBox in PowerApps.

In my Devices_DataCard1, I have a ComboBox (DevicesComboBox5) with a Data source from another list (Devices) filtering one of the columns of that list using a Dropdown selection (DropdownDevicesActiveChoice1).

This is the formula for the ComboBox selections:

 

Filter(Devices, HideDevice = DropdownDevicesActiveChoice1.Selected.Result)

 

The choices are selected from the ComboBox and are displayed in a Lable (LblDevices5) that displays on my primary SharePoint list.

Lable formula:

Concat(DevicesComboBox5.SelectedItems,Devices,"; ")

When I edit this primary SharePoint list via the PowerApps form, the Device field resets. The other fields do not reset.

 

I'm not sure what I need to do. Would I need to set the Default and DefaultSelectedItems of the ComboBox? What would that formula look like?
