Hi
I'm using a combobox to display a field. The box filters out to get the three distinct list items i need. However the text of the field does not display and I just get the expect 3 checkboxes.
I'm using Canvas Apps for teams - is this a limitation of this, or is there something I'm missing?
Hi @lee-martin
In this example, ComboBox filters the SP list and displays the Title (Column).
If you need to get the Text of the Combobox that needs to display on the checkbox then, Set the Text property of Checkbox to ComboBox1.Selected.ColumnName
Thanks, I've selected Title as my field from the edit, and I've put in
ComboBox3.Selected.Result to the text field
It is still blank
To Troubleshoot, Can you create a new screen and insert a combo box. Set items property to
Distinct(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:""}),DisplayName).Result
Insert Checkbox and set the Text property to
ComboBox1.Selected.Result
Verify Checkbox displays the combobox selected name
I'm told by the app that that function is unsupported
Is Canvas Apps for teams a cut down version of what you get in the Power Apps studio?
Do you mean the above test scenario works in PowerApps but not works in Power Apps for teams?
No it doesn't work in teams (I've not got anywhere to try it in Power Apps Studio), i was just wondering if it is stripped down version of Canvas Apps and if that is my issue? I've discovered that there is no drop down box in Canvas Apps for teams on the menu so I'm wondering what I'm working with.
Are there any more ways I can try to get the Distinct working properly in Canvas Apps for Teams?
Hi @lee-martin ,
In Dataverse for Teams, by default we will use fluent UI controls, the Combo box of which would act a bit different. What you have discovered is that it does not support displaying "Results" from the Distinct function.
To solve this issue, we could use the classic Combo box by enable classic controls in settings:
Hope this helps.
