Hi there,

 

I would like to replace the classic dropdown with the modern dropdown/combobox.

 

Left = New

Right = Old

After I refresh the database, the first row of the modern dropdown value is gone

If I refresh again, both are gone.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong?

 

Modern dropdown

Items = Sort(Distinct('Incident Management - Team',Team),Value)

DefaultSelectedItems = ThisItem.Team

 

Classic dropdown

Items = Sort(Distinct('Incident Management - Team',Team),Value)
Default = ThisItem.Team.Value

    Hi @nicklim ,

     

    I believe that it's a bug for this control. Since this is a preview control, I don't recommend you put it into production.

    One workaround is to add a toggle into gallery.

    Sample

    //We can hide the toggle.

     

    Best Regards,
