Allowing User to enter their own multiple values in Multi-Select Dropdown box

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 22

Hello Power App Gurus, I am new user in Power Apps community. Can you please help me with following scenario.

I have a multi select drop down field called 'Rejection Reason'. User can select multiple values in this field but user also wants to add their own value into this dropdown field.

I selected yes for 'Allow fill in choices' for this 'Rejection Reason' dropdown field in SharePoint which is my Data source but Power App is not allowing user to add their own values. Can you please assist on how can I achieve this.

    Hi @Samyuktha ,

     

    In fact, powerapps can add new values to the choice column.

    You can see I have 3 values can be selected in my choice column.

    If I fill in the first record's choice value, I will do this:

    You even don't need to turn on this setting in sharepoint.

    If you want to add one new option in your choice column  instead of adding a new value in column records, you need to use canvas to call the flow and use the rest api to modify your column options.
