Hi all,

 

Has any one run into this issue?

 

I have a new combo box:

    Hi @opticshrew2 ,

    How you specified proper Table records within the Items property o the ComboBox control?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. The screenshot as below:3.JPG

    Please consider take a try to re-create a new app, and try the ComboBox control again, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Also please consider take a try to turn off the "Improved app rendering (final validation)" option within Advanced settings of App settings of your app, then re-load your app, check if the issue is solved.

     

    If the issue still exists, please consider submit an assisted support ticket through the following link:

    Best regards,

    Hi @v-xida-msft,

    I restarted the session and the issue appears to have disappeared. Very strange.

    Regards,

    It's odd behaviour, but I've just experienced the same thing.

    Same here.  Searchable Toggle kept flipping back to off.  Exiting form and re-launching it in edit mode fixed it.  ~classic~
