This should be an easy one - I have a NewForm control that DataSources to a SharePoint list - problem is the choice column values are showing as item 1, Item 2, item 3 ..... not the real choices that in the column. Anyone ever seen this before and knows the fix? Thx in advance.
@ctedesco3307
In the items property of the combobox control your are referring to: Choices(yourSplist.yourColumnname).Value
At least for EditForm - data values not set right in parent child relationships. Error was actually on the Sharepoint side. - New Form still shows the item though
Thanks @Drrickryp - I actually get an error when I do this - what did I miss ? It's a form control so I put this in Default. Thx in advance
The default property of the card should be ThisItem.CR_TYPE
The Items property of the combobox inside the card should be Choices('PS Contract Totals'.CR_TYPE).Value
I am facing the same issue, does anyone found a solution for this? Actually this may not be an PowerApps issue, as I am not able to save the form in SharePoint (NewForm) as well.
@Anonymous I actually did get a solution - Go to the data card in the form that is showing item... Select the Items property for that data card and make sure the system field name, not the column name is set. My column names are different then my system field names in my SharePoint and the items property automatically defaulted to the column name. Once I changed it - worked perfect. You can see the system file name if you sort by that column in the URl or go into list settings - look at the url.
Thanks @ctedesco3307 However, it is not the case for me. I actually deleted the list I initially was using (which had different display name and field name). I still facing the same issue with new List as well. Please see below screenshots. I actually copied / cloned an existing app and changed the data source and forms. Not sure, if that is a problem. I recreated the list and readded the Powerapps form, with no luck.

@Anonymous - that's all I got my friend - I'm sorry. I do remember actually having to remove and retype in the field name, even in some cases I had where the column name and field name were the same. I know it sounds lame.... but delete Department, re-type it in, re-save, see if that does anything. PowerApps is just glitchy sometimes.
I've just had this issue - did anyone ever resolve it?
I have also the same problem.
My solution is delete the card and add it again. Also, if that doesn't works, I unlock the DataCardValue, delete it and add it again.
I hope it helps!
