PowerApps continues to change a concatination string into static text

I have a table object that I'm filling using the ShortByColumns/Filter method and it populates the data correctly.

There is a Title object under the Table where I have been setting the 'DisplayName' with

"Success Engagements for " & 'CMB:SelectCustomer'.Selected.Title

It populates the title correctly and operates as expected for the entire session. However, once I save and publish and come back into that screen it has changed the code above to:

"Success Engagements for Test Customer"

This is the last customer that was selected before I saved and published. I've changed this so many times now and it is always the same behavior.

What is interesting is when I RUN the application that I just published, it runs exactly as expected. However, unless I go change this code, the next save/publish is going to make that title static. (it took me a long time to figure this out... I thought I was going crazy) 😉

Has anyone else seen this?

Tom.

Do you have the same problem if you replace
"Success Engagements for " & 'CMBelectCustomer'.Selected.Title
With

Concatenate("Succes Engagements for ", CMBelectCustomer'.Selected.Title)

So I tried your suggestion with the best of hopes but what I ran into was after 3 times navigating away from the screen and back it replaced the Concatenate with the literal of the last one I selected. It didn't take me having to save and come back into the app for it to change.

So, in short, yes, it is doing the same thing using Concatenate() as it is with " " & variable

This appears to be some type of bug.

Thanks!
