When I add an new choice column to an existing Power App, (SPO list is the data source), the choices do not appear when i play the app.

What am I doing wrong.

When I first created the app with choice fields, the choices appeared in teh Power App. It just doesn't appear when i add new choice columns to existing Power Apps.

Hi @SS-21042158-0,

Some strange things happening with Combo Boxes recently - I have been fixing this one by selecting the Items and copy/cut them and replacing with something simple like [1,2,3]. Then play the app until you see 1 2 3 in the selection. Put your Items back - you may also have to adjust the Display and Search fields in the right panel (select the Combo Box and Edit at right). Esentially, you are resetting the Items and it seems to work fine.

Hi @SS-21042158-0

I can see now that this is a Modern Combo Box (my response was for a Classic item) - you need to add the field/s you want to display. Select the Combo Box and then Edit from the right panel then Add Fields. Select what you want to display then they should come up in the list.
