Hi,
 
I've a drop down field, were I added below code to Items property. This is connected to SharePoint List
Sort( Distinct(SharePointListName,Title),Value)
Whenever I have a new name to add, I would prefer to add this from the PowerApps form and not to the SharePoint List.
 
Any new names added through the PowerApps form should also get update to my SharePoint List.
 
Can someone please advise. Thanks!

    Ability- to add New Entry in the Drop Down field
    I already have a Submit button which says:
    SubmitForm(FormInspection)
    I need to add a + sign in the form, which will add a new item into the Combo box within the form itself. I do not want users to add new record into SharePoint List, which will than automatically reflect in the form.
     
    I need this feature from the form.
     
    My Combo Box is named cbCustomerName

    hey
     
    you can try this in a onselect of a button for example:
    If(
    Not IsBlank(TextInputControl.Text) && IsEmpty(Filter(SharePointListName, Title = TextInputControl.Text)),
    Patch(
        SharePointListName,
        Defaults(SharePointListName),
        {Title: TextInputControl.Text}
    );
    Refresh(SharePointListName);
)
    if my answer helped please mark as verified answer,
     
     
    cheers
