Howdy Y'all,
I have a case where an app is gathering names and links to documents from multiple sources then combining them into a collection. This is so that in one column, someone can select a group of documents that are not housed on the same sharepoint site. The user selects from a list of document names, then the app creates an entry in sharepoint that is a list of document names, but each name is also a clickable link that brings you to the document. This is done using a combobox that displays the document names, then in the same card is a hidden HTMLtext box. This brings in the selected items from the combobox and creates the list of links using 'name' and 'link'. Then the card's update field has the content of the HTML.
The issue I am facing is that I currently have nothing in the default section of the combobox. this leads the combobox to clear out on edit. I don't know how to bring my selections back into the combobox since technically they were never saved. Any suggestions on what needs to be in the default field.
OnVisible: ClearCollect(AllDocData,ShowColumns('Location 1 Standard Work Instructions',"{Name}","{Link}"),ShowColumns('Standard Documents',"{Name}","{Link}"),ShowColumns('Location 2 Standard Work Instructions',"{Name}","{Link}"))
Combobox Items : AllDocData
HTMLText: Concat(DataCardValue20_1.SelectedItems,Concatenate("<a href='",'{Link}',"'>",'{Name}',"</a><br>"))
Update: HtmlText1.HtmlText
TLDR: How do I take just the '{Name}' items from the HTML text and get it back into the combobox so that they show up on edit?
