ComboBox resets after the patch function is used

Reading through old posts about how to prevent a combobox from resetting. There is no ClearCollect function on the app...

I'd really like to keep showing the selected item after I hit the Save button. (Data is connected to Dataverse)

Multiple choices not allowed and the combo box is showing records from a Project table.

The Default is expecting a Record and using MySelection only in that property gives errors.

In the OnSelect property It worked to add Set(MySelected, ComboBoxProject.Selected) - though adding a .Value or .Result is giving errors.

(Been trying options presented in other threads.)

    @AJ_Z 

    It seems quite unhappy and expecting a record.

    I wondered about that too, in the other threads posters said it should be in the Default property so I followed that. However, I was just listening to Shane Youngs video about it and he said it should be in DefualtItemsProperty.

     

    In that DefaultItemsProperty it worked to do a filter: 
    Filter('Project Divisions', Name = Gallery1participant_1.Selected.Project.Name)

     

    Thanks for the help!
