Combo Box Modern Control wont show multiple fields

Posted on by Andy Tuke

I have a modern control Combo Box with the items set to a filtered Dataverse Table, configured as
Filter(GNCDocuments,'Document Status'="Live")
The fields property is configured in the Properties panel to show the Document Reference, and the Document Title

However when used it only shows the first fields on that list, if I change the order then it shows the other, but I can't get it to show both.
I've also tried creating a view in Dataverse for the table, including the filter there and ensuring all the columns I might need are included but the result is the same

I had similar issue:

This is a common limitation when working with Combo Box controls in Power Apps: the Combo Box displays only one field at a time. To display both fields (Document Reference and Document Title), you need to combine these fields into a single column and set the Combo Box's DisplayField to this combined value.

Update the Items Property of the Combo Box
Modify the Items property to create a concatenated value for Document Reference and Document Title:

AddColumns(
Filter(GNCDocuments, 'Document Status' = "Live"),
"DisplayField",
'Document Reference' & " - " & 'Document Title'
)

Thanks, works a treat. Not the most intuitive design by MS there. I did have to change your code to use single quotes around the DisplayField name
