We have a SharePoint column of type Choice which allow multiple selection and allow Fill-in, as follow:-

now inside SharePoint built-in list form, i will get this outcomes, where users can select multiple checkboxes and/or enter custom value:-

but in power apps i will get a normal combo-box without any text to enter custom values.. so how i can fix this? so i can add/edit the value/s + view the value/s?

Current behavior inside the built-in list form, which i want to mimic inside Power Apps form:-

1) ONLY select single/multiple choice without entering custom value.

2) BOTH select single/multiple choice/s + enter a custom value

3) ONLY enter a custom value

This will work inside the Add ,Edit & View built-in list forms... so how we can have similar functionality inside power Apps form?

Here is the UI which i currently have >> to select available option/s and/or enter custom value:-

Thanks

Hi @johnjohn123 ,

I'm not sure about creating choices from Canvas PowerApps.
But to use multiple selection control then use Combo box control with 'Multiple Selection' property enabled.
There's also searching property for combobox.

Hope this helps

@Ethan_R Yes i read this blog before, but it assume that the user will either enter a custom value or select single/multiple choice/s.. while in our case the user can enter a custom value + select single or multiple choices.. i hope this explain my question in a better way .. Also the blog did not show how the form will work on view mode? how we can get the custom value and show it inside the field and not inside the combobox ?

Thanaks
