Posted on by merry 78

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a global choice named Gender with follwoingvalues : Male,Female ,... 

 

I added a combo box to the screen and I want to set the items of combo box to display value of this global choice.

 

In the combo box Items I added: 

Choices('Gender')

But it does not work and i have error.

 

Could you please advice how to do it?

 

Thanks,

    Somewhere in your app you need to have this statement:

    Set(v_Gender,["Male","Female"])

    Then in the Items property of the ComboBox you need to us v_Gender

    If you mean you want someone to set that variable earlier in the app and have it be pre-populated in the Combo Box then you need to make v_Gender a single one of the choices. I would use a DropDown not a ComboBox and put the vaiable in the Default property.

    Thank you for the reply.

    But I do have a global option set named Gender. The global option set has already have Male and Female I just want to use it and I do not want to redefine the choices again as a variable.

     

    My question in how can we use the global option Set in the items of my combo box.

     

    I also work in Data verse for teams so i do not have any dropdown I only have combo box

    Your "global option set" needs to be a table. Then you can use it in the Items property of the ComboBox
