Combobox search field placeholer

Hi all, 

 

I wanted to know if there is anyway to change the text that is displayed when trying to search trough a combobox:

Eltrops_0-1712908274412.png

It's the text greyed out : "MUA311-FR BERNAY WO"

It shows by default the actual selected value and i didn't find a way to change that property. It is different from the no selection text as this text shows while a value is selected. Any ideas ?

    Hi @Eltrops 

     

    You can simply change the "Text" in InputTextPlaceholder of the Combobox control property.

    yes this changes the search value when no item is selected

    You can use If function to achieve this.

     

    If(
        IsBlank(ComboBox1.Selected),
        "Find Item",
        ComboBox1.Selected.ColumnName
    )

     

    Thanks!
