Hi,

I have a Drop Down on the edit form of a power app. I want the drop down default value to pick up the value of text column in a SharePoint list. ThisItem. FileName brings up the following error:

This formula uses scope which is not presently supported for evaluation data type

The dropdown is not connected to a data card in the associated list. Any pointers welcome

Hi @Ianhall1892

ThisItem only works inside the gallery control. Do you have this dropdown placed inside the gallery control. If not, can you please share more details about the app configuration and what you want to build, we might be able to help you better.

Hope this Helps!

I'm using a Edit Form.
Within the edit form there is a custom control that contains various dropdowns to filter information .
A Patch is used to post the information selected to a SharePoint list.
If I open the edit form again from the display form the values do not show.
I can add labels that will work with ThisItem to show the information from the list in the custom control but was trying to get it to pull that value into the dropdown field.

@Ianhall1892

In that case, you can set the default property of the dropdown controls to:

If(FormName.Mode = FormMode.Edit, LookUp(DataSource, ID = ThisItem.ID).ColumnToShow)

Here, you need to replace DataSource with the items property of the dropdown. ID needs to be replaced with the column that you are trying to match on. ColumnToShow is the column getting displayed in the dropdown.

Hope this Helps!

@Ianhall1892

Default property expects a text value but the defaultselecteditems expects same schema as per the items. Does this resolve the issue? If so, please mark the thread as closed, so that it could be helpful for others having the same issue.
