Changing single line of text to choice

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 87

I have a SP list using a customized PowerApp for the form.  I have a field that was initially created in the SP list as a single line of text but now I need that to be a choice.  I made the change to the field type in SP but I am not seeing the change represented in the PowerApp (It still displays as single line of text).  I refreshed the data connection and all but it is still not showing.  Any ideas on how I can get it to display as a choice in my PowerApp without having to delete the entire data connection to the SP list?  Thanks!

    Hi @skarthanal25 ,

    try this 

    Initially, remove the Datacard, refresh the app, and then re-add the choice column.
