@Corleone ,
Combo Boxes with multiple selections will only show the number of items when selected and nothing in view mode as the selections are actually a table. I would suggest the following. Change all names below with Your to your actual names.
Unlock the card and put a Label on it with the Text
Concat(YourComboBoxName.SelectedItems,Value & ", ")
I am assuming your field is a Choice type with the Value reference above.
Now make the Visible of the Label
YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.View
Lastly, the Visible of the ComboBox
!YourLabelName.Visible

Hi @Corleone ,

Do you still want to display Status field available options when your Edit form is in View Mode or the Status field data card is in "View selection"?

Based on the issue that you mentioned, actually, it is an normal behavior within canvas app. The available options for Choice field (or LookUp type, ... etc) ComboBox could only be displayed only when the ComboBox is in Edit selection.

If your Edit form is in View mode or the Control Type of the "Status" field ComboBox is in "View selection", the available options under the "Status" field would not be displayed.

So if you still want to display Status field available options when your Edit form is in View Mode or the Status field data card is in "View selection", I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps.

Note: The "View selection" mode of the Status field ComboBox is used to display the stored options for the Status field in view mode rather than choose available option.

Best regards,
