Drop-down reverting to previous record's value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hey all, I am pretty new to PowerApps, and I have not been able to find anything helpful on this.

 

I have an app that I am building to update a SharePoint Online list. I have a browse screen with a gallery that lets you search for a record, then when selected, it takes you to an editscreen with a form that I created. The drop-downs I created both have the same issue of displaying the previous record's value unless I select the second record twice.

 

To explain the behavior a little more: I select record A, and the drop-down value is Apple, that displays correctly for the first record. If I go back to the browse gallery and select record B, who's drop-down value is orange, the drop-down will display Apple, not Orange. If I go back to the browse gallery and select record B again, the drop-down will correctly display Orange.

I have tried supplying a list of items manually , or using the distinct function to use items from the list, and they both seem to display this behavior.

 

I feel like I am probably missing something really obvious here, but I haven't been able to find it after many hours of searching for an answer.

    Hi,

    What are the Items property of the two dropdowns? Also, what is the Default property of these dropdowns?
