I am having an odd issue and I cannot work out why it is happening. I have an edit form (SP List data source) on one screen which is working perfectly fine. However when I insert a second edit form onto another screen (same data source) all choice and people columns/fields incorrectly display "item 1, item 2 etc" instead of the correct dropdown list items/person search field.
I am confused as to how come the same fields work correctly on one screen but not the other? I have tried both copying the and pasting the form and inserting a brand new one on the second screen but neither worked correctly. I have also tried to add the Defaults ('List name') formula to the Items in the second form but this also hasn't fixed the issue. I have noticed when I add a formula to one of the fields it seems to refresh and display the correct options, but not sure why that is the case?
What is the best way for me to diagnose what the issue is here?
I was able to resolve this by changing
It's now Jul 2024 and I am still seeing this bug, has MS not fixed it? Seriously!
I am using one of the SharePoint templates and the [Status] and another Choice field are showing "Items 1, Items 2, etc".
I attempted to apply the fix and its working in the PowerApps preview but not on the actual sharepoint site. Option 1 and 2 applied (since opt 1 didn't resolve it)
The [Status] worked for about 5min but now after applying the same fix to the other column both fields are now blank in the dropdown. Not sure that is related. I also deleted and re-added the card again no change.
Only if I start typing will any selections show up, and yes I have cleared my cache multiple times, open new tabs, etc.
Is PowerApp still in beta?
Yeah this is bad when you have a lot of choices in your FORM. It seems like the it is not fetching the choices from the List. Removing the [] and @ didn't do the trick for me.
My workaround is
comment it out then uncomment.
This will force it to fetch the choices. the drawback is you have to reselect the display for People picker, or it will default to claims.
Thank you for these solutions as one worked x
I am having same issue, i try to connect my share point List to Edit form in power apps, but my Choice drop down fields showing item1, items 2 and i can`t fix it with the solutions in this form, please anyone help because that is a task i need to do.
An easier fix is to go to the combobox, select to Edit fields in the properties pane. Click the drop downs for the display and search fields and re-select the desired property (like 'value'). This will reset the control and show the correct values.
