How to change the ComboBox DisplayFields???

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2,297

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???

    Are you using Distinct in your formula or better still can you show the formula on the items property of the Combobox

    Sure, here it is:

     

    Filter(MyList, ThisColumn = "That")

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

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

    I don't know why.

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

    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.

    @WebPortal 

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

    @RandyHayes 

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

    @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)?
