PowerApps Text Value Reset - Fix?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I currently have a PowerApps form and I am currently having an issue where the text that I originally before resets when I change the dropdown. Basically text is being removed because of the dropdown being changed.. and the onchange is already set to false. 

 

For example: My current status of the powerapp form is on "started" and I have text describing what was started and I hit save.. but when I go back into change the dropdown from "started" to "complete" it gets rid of my text that was on started. 

 

The text describing is set to Parent.Default and the dropdown is pulled from choices column on my sharepoint list

    Hi @q_ali1 ,

    Firstly is this a Drop-down or a Combo Box ? Can you please (in Text) post the Items, Update of the Data Card and Default (Drop-down) or DefaultSelectedItems (Combo Box).

    There is a status dropdown - it's a single select (even though it looks like multiple) and there's a multi-line text (see below)

    What is happening- so when you first create a sharepoint entry it is automatically put on the "in progress status" - so If I can go in as an approver and add a note to "approval note" and change the approval status as an approver to approved - the status will update from in progress to approve which is correct. 

     

    Now if I change the status to Denied, Implementation or etc - it drops off my "approval note" meaning it's blank.. which I don't want, I want the note to remain on the form.

    @q_ali1 ,

    That is why I asked for the properties of Items and Default on the drop-down and the Update of the Data Card. Also do you have any OnChangeOnSelect or Reset events on the drop-down ?
