Power App Collection Variable Question Mark

I have a Canvas App that is connected to a Dataverse table.
I have two multiselect choice fields and I have two multiselect checkbox controls.

The checkbox control OnCheck property uses the following: Collect(colTypesOfNewMoneyRequests,ThisItem.Value)

The checkbox control OnUncheck property uses the following: RemoveIf(colTypesOfNewMoneyRequests,Value=ThisItem.Value)

For the Datacard using each collection the Update property uses the respective collection. 
 
I have used this with SharePoint as the datasource but when I attempt to use Dataverse I now see a "?" for each selected checkbox
When I attempt to save the data in my form using Patch, the selected values are not saved to my Dataverse table.

I'm new to Dataverse so I am probably doing something wrong.

Please help.

The question mark means that it did not find a value to save.

From the details in your screenshot, the issue is likely caused by how Dataverse handles multi-select choice fields compared to SharePoint.

You might try something like this:

Collect(colTypesOfNewMoneyRequests, {Id: ThisItem.Id, Value: ThisItem.Value})
RemoveIf(colTypesOfNewMoneyRequests, Id = ThisItem.Id)

Thanks for your reply.
I will look into this to see if your suggestion helps but its interesting that Dataverse doesnt have an "Id" field like a SharePoint list uses but Dataverse does have a GUID.
