DefaultselectedItem Combox shows only the default item and not the entire dropdown on loading

Posted on by ReenaS11

I have a combo box which allows multiple selection and the values are derived from a SharePoint list. Based on the logged in user it should select the default value for that user. Onselect from the previous screen I am passing the DefaultTeamDL value which is Dynamically derived based on Office365Groups.

this is what I have for item for the combo box

item: 'SharePoint list'

The combo box displays the title values for the SharePoint list

DefaultselectedITem:

LookUp(''SharePoint list',Title=DefaultTeamDL )

When I click on the button from previous screen (Where the DefaultTeamDL value is passed) it takes me to the screen which has the combo box and it displays only the DefaultTeamDL value in combo box and all other values from the SharePoint list are missing.

But when I chose an item from the gallery to edit (screen which has the combo box) and go back to the page that has the combo box now it will display all the values from the SharePoint list with the default value picked based on DefaultTeamDL. Basically if I click on any item from the gallery oor go back and come again to the screen with combo box that's when it will shows all the values in the combo box and the default one selected is the correct one which is DefaultTeamDL.

What am I doing wrong that initially it only shows only one value in the combo box which is DefaultTeamDL.

@ReenaS11 ,

I am in a different time zone to you (7am here in Australia), so please be patient. Assuming DefaultTeamDL is a Text value, the DefaultSelectedItems should be

{Title: DefaultTeamDL}

however how are you writing multiple selections back to a Text field (Title) ? That is why I asked for the name and type of field you are writing back to.

the Combo box is on a search screen which by default should show the value that is set as a variable from the previous screen which displays correctly but when I am on the search screen in the combo box it only shows that variable value from previous screen and not all the Title values from the SharePoint list.

Hi @ReenaS11 ,

What is the Items of the Combo Box and what is the name and type of field that it is displaying from / writing to. Also your Combo Box allows multiple selections - is the field multi-value ?
