Dropdown box not dropping down

(0) ShareShare

Hi, I have some dropdown boxes I want to move from one field to another. However, when I create new ones in the new field, the dropdown boxes aren't showing properly.

When I run the app, the boxes in blue drop down correctly but the ones in red shows nothing at all; they, in fact, don't even have the arrows to open the drop down lists. Does anyone know what is causing this? Thank you!

    Hi,
    Verify the Items property of the dropdown is correctly set to a list or table that exists in your app's data.

    Check the Width and Height properties of the dropdown control to ensure they are large enough to display the content.

    Ensure that the dropdown control is not hidden behind another control or layer on the screen.

    If you copied and pasted the dropdown, make sure that the new one is not still referencing the old data field. You may need to update the properties to point to the new data field.

    Try deleting the problematic dropdowns and creating new ones from scratch to see if the issue persists.

    If after these steps the dropdowns still don't work, consider looking into any errors that might be present in the app's formulas or the app's data source permissions.

    Best Regards,

    I tried these suggestions and I still can't find what's wrong. The dropdown isn't pulling a list from anywhere, it's a list i'm making specification for this app.
