Default Selected not working in ComboBox

Posted on by Veronika_Kys123

Hello,

I have 5 comboxes ( as choices in Sharepoint) in my app. I tried to set the default value as "Pending" every time when someone submits a new record. (=to know that this record is waiting for approval and work with this for other things in my app)

Although its not working... Its displayed, but I cannot see the value "Pending" in my SharePoint list. In the SharePoint it's still "blank".

Combox setting:

Items: Choices: ([@'Monthly Donations 2022'].'Approval 1')

DefaultSelectedItems: LookUp(Choices('Monthly Donations 2022'.'Approval 1'), Value="Pending")

Please help me. 🙂 Thank you!

Hi @Veronika_Kys123 ,

The DefaultSelectedItems would be

{Value: "Pending"}

The Update of the Data Card would be

{Value: ComboBoxName.Selected.Value}

I assume here this is only for new records.

Hello! I just realized looking in my sharepoint, that "pending" by default is working, although when I submit a "new" approval - ex. from pending to approved - it's changed in sharepoint, but my DataCard is still showing pending.
Looks like even when I Submit new value in the column approval its still changing back to "pending",

any suggestions please?

@Veronika_Kys123 ,

That is why I noted the solution was only for new records. You will need something like

If( YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.New, {Value: "Pending"}, {Value: ThisItem.'Approval 1'.Value} )

Okk, now its working - but the DataCardValue is showing as empty, without the "pending" selected. Any idea how to fix that?

@Veronika_Kys123 ,

If the Form is in New Mode, it will show Pending and in View or Edit Mode will show whatever you have saved in the 'Approval 1' field in your List - I assumed that is what you wanted.
