Combobox/Dropbox with SelectMultiple false

Posted on by 4Him

Definining a Combobox I set SelectMutiple to false. When I select an item and try to show it in a Label Field, it is rejected, because Power Apps thinks, it's a list and not a label. But with SelectMultiple false, this isn't possible. Is this a bug or normal behavior? Is there a way to bypass this?

Hello, in the combobox, you have 2 attributes, Combobox.SelectedItems which returns a list of items, and Combobox.Selected which returns one item. Could you elaborate on what you are using specifically and try the Combobox.Selected attribute if you're not currently using it?

Hi Michel

I actually thought the same, but unfortunately .Selected has the same behavior as .SelectedItems: It exepects a Listbox instead of a Label.

Can you share some screenshots to be able to better analyse the situation?
For example what do you have in the Items property of the Combobox?
And what is the expression you're placing on the label + the error?

Hi @4Him,

Do you want to display the Combo Box selected value within a Label?

Could you please tell me that how you set the Items property of the Combo Box?

Actually, each dropdown like Combo Box or Dropdown Box, they reference to a specific column following the dropdown.Selected.

If you populate the dropdown box with a Choice column, then you should reference to the column named Value by default like dropdown.Selected.Value

If you populate the dropdown box with a Text column and you set the Items property of the dropdown box with something like ListName.TextColumn, then you should reference to the text column name directly like dropdown.Selected.TextColumn

So if you set the Combo Box Items property using Choice() function, please set the Label Text property as below:

ComboBox1.Selected.Value

If you set the Combo Box Items property using ListName.TextColumn or Distinct(), please set the Label Text property as below:

ComboBox1.Selected.TextColumn// Set Combo Box Items with ListName.TextColumn ComboBox1.Selected.Result//Set Combo Box Items with Distinct()
