Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Good morning y'all, happy 2020!!

 

So, quick question. I've putted a dropdown to catch values from a sharepoint list. But the dropdown is finding three columns called "ferramentas", which two of them I've already deleted. How I erase them for good?

    Hi,

    Did you try refreshing the data source within your app?

    If that doesnt do it, delete and add the dropdown back.

    Already did (both refreshing the connection and deleting/recreating the dropdown). All the dropdowns which are connected to that list are finding those columns. Even the fresh ones.

    Can you share a screenshot of your SharePoint list that shows all the columns in the list settings?

    Doesn't the attached image show that column 3 times?

    That's the thing. In the sharepoint, it doesn't show up the three columns, just one (the correct one). But in the powerapps I see the those two "ghost" columns.

    May be I am missing something. My apologies for the same. The previous screenshot was of SharePoint (showing the 3 columns). Are you saying in the list, it shows only one column? Did you try to delete the 2 extra columns?

    No problem. I actually thank you a lot for the support.

     

    No, the first screen shot was from powerapps menu, that opens when I configure a dropdown. The second one was from the sharepoint.

    Just to be sure, isn't this the screenshot from SharePoint? I see that same column 3 times in this screenshot as well.
