Hi,

I would like to display a more info text box if a selected value in a combo box is equal to "Other" but right now it isn't working, see graphic below:

    Hi @Mattw112IG ,

    What are the Items of the Combo Box?

    Choices('WashOptions (Opportunities)')

    Thanks @Mattw112IG ,

    Very strange - all you actually should need on the Visible is

    ComboBox1.Selected.Value = "Other"

    but this will not work if your formula does not.

    What type of field is 'WashOptions (Opportunities)' in the data source (I assume SharePoint)?

    Hi it is Dynamics.

     

    FYI I got this working like this:

    ComboBox1.Selected.Value = 'WashOptions (Opportunities)'.Other
     
    Thanks!

    Thanks @Mattw112IG ,

    So when you type in ComboBox1.Selected. (after second dot), what valid results do you see underneath?
