How to change the ComboBox DisplayFields???

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 9 Jan 2021 18:10:46 by WebPortal 2,278

I set my ComboBox.DisplayFields property to: ["Nome"] and it subbornly changes it back to ["ComplianceAssetID"].

The same happens with the SearchFields property.

And it doesn't matter if I try to make the change the properties on the formula bar or on the right panel.

 

The data source is a SP list where the column Name is present.

 

Is this a trick or something???

    Figured out how to fix this. You have to clear the "Items" property, then you can change the Display Fields and Search Fields, then throw the items back in.

    @WebPortal 

    What is the items property for this one and what may be unique about the screen you have it on (following what you mentioned in that other post)?

    It's another dropdown, but yes it is also happening on this one too.

    Is this related to the other thread we are working on?

    Same **bleep** again.

     

    I change the DisplayFields and SearchFields and they go back to whatever they want and completely mess all the app.

     

    Only this time closing an opening doesn't work.

    Did I mention that dropdowns and comboboxes are flaky sometimes?  😂😂

    @eka24thanks, it is the same stuff: I close and reopen the app and now it works...

    I don't know why.

    I tested similar formula at my end but I could display multiple Fields.
