    This looks ok to me... remember the card has the description and the field. the field is padding from the bottom of the description.

    Hi @ShaneITAutomate ,

    Do you mean that the PaddingTop property within the ComboBox could not work in Display form or Edit form in View mode?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test, and the issue is confirmed on my side. Actually, it is an known issue with "Padding" property of the ComboBox control -- The Padding property of the ComboBox would not work when the ComboBox is inside a Display form or Edit form in View mode.

     

    If you would like this feature to be improved in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    As an alternative solution, you could consider unlock the "Registration State" field data card in your Display form, then hidden the DataCardValue3_1 (ComboBox) through the following formula:

    Set the Visible property of the DataCardValue3_1 to following:

    false

     

    then add a Label control inside your "Registration State" field data card, set the Text property to following:

    ThisItem.'Registration State'.Value

    If you enable "Allow Multiple Selections" for your "Registration State" field in your SP List, please try the following formula:

    Concat(ThisItem.'Registration State', Value & ", ")

    After that, you could change the Padding property of the new inserted Label in your Display form as below:

    Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the alternative solution could help in your scenario.

     

    Best regards,

    Found a solution for this!!! Adjust the padding to the desired amount, remove the default selected items property of the dropdown and enter the default selected items again.
