Combobox issue when disabled

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

When my combobox is disabled it doesn't show the correct values. It shows the number of items instead. When i flip to edit mode the values display fine.

  • The Combobox is serving as a people picker with multiple values.
  • Items: 

 

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: Self.SearchText,top:10})​

 

  • DefaultSelectedItems: 

 

ForAll(
 dc_RiskOwners.SelectedItems, 
 {
 Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(LookUp(Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm:ThisRecord.DisplayName}).value, DisplayName = ThisRecord.DisplayName).Mail),
 Department:"",
 DisplayName: ThisRecord.DisplayName,
 Email: "",
 JobTitle:"",
 Picture:""
 } 
)​

 

  • When disabled looks like this:
    Capture-Multipeoplefield-1.PNG
  • When in edit mode the same field looks like this as it should:
    Capture-Multipeoplefield-2.PNG

How do I get the names to show in the disabled mode in a similar manner to the edit mode? I get it that it won't be the same but at least if the names could be readable.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    What you are seeing is the default behaviour when the items selected cannot fit on the available width of the Combo Box and it appears that it also applies this in disabled mode (there are no settings to change this). One option is to have a Label with 

    Concat(
     ComboBoxName.SelectedItems,
     DisplayName, " ,"
    )

    over the box with the Visible

    ComboBoxName.DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Disabled
