IsSearchable property is set to false for combo boxes when migrating templates between environments

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 49

When I am migrating PowerApps templates from my development/qa environment to my company's production environment, random combo boxes that used to have the IsSearchable property set to true are set to false when I open the app from the template within the new environment. Another developer on my team also experiences this issue.

    Hi @CLS720 ,

    Do you mean that the IsSearchable property of the ComboBox controls would be changed when you import the app from one Environment to another Environment?

    How do you import an app from oone Environment to another Environment? Using "Import/Export package" functionality or Solutions functionality?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentiond, I have made a test on my side (using "Import/Export package" functionality), and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

    Please consider import/export canvas app across different Evironments using "Import/Export package" functionality, then check if the issue is solved:6.JPG

    If the issue still exists, please consider turn off the "Improve app rendering (final validation)" option within Advanced settings of App settings of your app, then try it again, check if the issue is fixed.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi @v-xida-msft ,

     

    Yes, I am using the import/export package functionality to import/export PowerApp solutions between environments.

     

    I will try importing the apps with the Improve app rendering functionality turned off and let you know if the resolves the issue.

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi @CLS720 ,

    Please consider take a try with the "Import/Export package (Preview)" functionality within your PowerApps to import/export PowerApps app directly, rather than add the canvas app into a Solution, then import this solution to another Environment.

     

    Also please consider save your canvas app into a local .msapp file within your PC, then switch to your Production Environment (Target Environment), then open the saved .msapp file within your target environment, then save it as another name, check if the issue is solved.

     

    If the issue still exists, please consider submit an assisted support ticket through the following link:
