Could we add a “select” or “save” type button to the bottom of the drop down list so that we can click, instead of having to find the “X” on Top

    Probably worth adding this as a suggest here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/idb-p/PowerAppsIdeas 

    My users on mobile hate the UI of the combo with the (if you have search enabled) two Xs at the top - so much so they asked me to spend additional development time creating a custom generic 'selection' screen so they would never have to use the standard combos.

    Hi @Srinivas2 :

    Great suggestion!But currently Combox's option list does not support customization.If you need this feature, please refer to @PaulD1 ’s suggestions and post your suggestions on the ideal forum.

    In addition, you can also use a combination of controls to achieve similar effects.Like this:

    I'v made a test for your refernce:

    1\Add a textInput box(TextInput5)

    2\Add a 'Down' button and set it's OnSelect proeprty to:

     

    UpdateContext({Var:!Var}) /*Var is my custom variable*/

     

    3\Add a galelry(Gallery9)

    Items

     

    If(IsBlank(TextInput5.Text),["A","B","C","D"],Search(["A","B","C","D"],TextInput5.Text,"Value")) /*["A","B","C","D"] is my datasource*/

     

    Visible

     

    Var

     

    Add a button into this gallery

    OnSelect

     

    If(ThisItem in MyChoice,Remove(MyChoice,ThisItem),Collect(MyChoice,ThisItem)) /*MyChoice is my custom collection*/

     

    Text

     

    If(ThisItem in MyChoice,"Delete","Save")

     

     4\Add a horizontal gallery between TextInput5 and Gallery9

    Items

     

    MyChoice

     

    Add a "X" button into this gallery

    OnSelect

     

    Remove(MyChoice,ThisItem)

     

     In addition, if you want to use this combination in multiple places, you can also create a component.

    Best Regards,
