Hi,

I have drop down controls that should be showing values from a Choice column in SharePoint list. On some cases upon initial run. The values are not showing up until I put a character on the drop down search box. Is this normal on power apps.

    Hi,
     
    from now and then, I have the same problems across various apps. It seems that the choices just do not load (?) when search is activated. I did not change the standard code for the items function for those choice columns. This is aktually quite anoying, especially if users do not know the choice they want to make. I observe the same behavior, the choices appear if you start typing in fitting characters.


    Kind regards
    Caddy
