Anyone else seeing this behavior? A user requested that I add another choice column to an existing SharePoint list. When I refreshed the data source in the Power App, I am able to see the new field and add it to the form, but the 3 expected choices are not showing up and instead I see Item 1, Item 2, Item 3... up to Item 15 in the dropdown. I've never experienced this type of behavior before when editing an existing list being used as a data source. I tested with another column type and got the same results.

This is a recurring issue lately - apparently an issue with the latest PowerApps release!
Look at your Items property of your Combobox in your form and make sure it is set to Choices(yourList.yourColumn)
I hope this is helpful for you.
Thanks @RandyHayes - I did check the Items property and it is correct. So, I'm guessing there is no workaround for this behavior if the property is set correctly? I was assuming a possible bug, but hoping that wasn't the case.
You can also attempt to cut the control from the form and then undo/paste it back. This usually causes the control to re-initialize itself.
It is a pain!
Yes it is! I actually just copied and pasted the existing value back into the Item property and it magically works. Very strange. Thanks again @RandyHayes!
Thanks for the feedback on it...that is the quicker step!
