Select from list in Custom form designer?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sholland 3

Note: due to my company's policies, I'm on Power Automate Desktop version 2.21.244.22174

 

I currently have multiple "Display select from list dialog" in my flow. The lists are derived from an Excel document, and can involve up to 50 different values.

 

I was hoping to be able to combine them into one custom form, but the custom form designer does not seem to have a select from list field option. It ha s choice set input, but those seem to need to be manually set, and can't use a variable.

 

Am I missing something here?

    Yes, just checked and looks like the "Default value" property (which accepts a variable) does not seem to display any values in the dropdown. (this property works well for a Textbox but not for a listbox)

     

    And the "Choices" property does not accept variable values. : (
