I have a list of countries in List-A, which may be updated / added time to time.

I need that countries to be available as a choice field or combo box in another List-B where people are allowed to add entry (with Customize Forms) with read only permission.

What is the way to fetch country column in List-B while adding an New entry (countries to be fetched from list-A)?

Kindly guide necessary power automate steps or any other simple way.

 

Regards,

Priyadharthan

    Hi @Priyan1,

    Do you want to fetch countries from list A into a Combo Box?

    Could you please share a bit more about your need?

     

    Actually, if you want to display all the countries from list a, you could directly set the Items property of the Combo Box as below:

    Distinct(ListA,Country)//Distinct() function return unique values from country column

    Note that this function recognizes the Country as a Text type column in the ListA.
