Combobox Not Displaying Options in Live Mode - Power App Connected to SharePoint List

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 21

Hello everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with a Power App I’ve developed for fleet management, and I’m hoping to get some advice on how to resolve it.

In my app, I have a form that collects vehicle data, with several fields using comboboxes (dropdown menus) for data entry. These comboboxes are currently created using the "Edit Fields" control within the form, and they are still in the "locked" state.

When I’m in development mode, the comboboxes function as expected, displaying all the available options. However, when I run the app in live mode (i.e., as an end-user), the comboboxes show only the DefaultSelectedItem (which is set to Parent.Default)

The form is connected to a SharePoint list, and I’ve confirmed that the list is correctly referenced. I’ve already tried removing and re-adding the various datacards, as well as unlocking (unlocked) them, but unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on what might be causing this and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Francesco

    Hi,
     
    You probably have Search enabled on the ComboBox. Because you have a default set, you only SEE whatever it has found while searching, using the value IN the type in/view value box at the top.
     
    Turn off Search or make sure its blank.
     
    Also, please make sure that the DATA itself isn't using row level security. If so not everyone will see it all.
