Dropdown incorrectly populates with other record's data upon edit

Hello All,

I have an app that after submitting the form, it makes the rest of the data cards visible and switches to edit mode. One of the newly visible data cards contains a dropdown with ["", "foo", "bar", "hello"] as the hard-coded Items. If you do not save again and move to another screen, the dropdown should remain blank since it did not write to the SharePoint List. However when you go back to edit the form the dropdown is populated with a value from a previous record that contained either a "foo", "bar", or "hello".

The odd thing is if you back out a second time and go back to edit, the problem corrects itself and you are left with a blank value. The data card Default is ThisItem.ColumnName and the dropdown Default is Parent.Default.

What am I missing?

Let me know if I can provide any more info.

-Mike

Hi,

As I understand the below-mentioned issue.

You not saving the DropDown value in SP List. [Correct].

So when you navigation to Next Screen on Click of a button,

Then you can add the below Code in OnSelect Properties of the Button that you are using for navigation for the Next Screen.
Code - Reset(DropDownName);
Once you Place this Code and COmeback to the Screen then it will clear the DropDown.

Reset(DropdownName) does not work in this case. When you return to the edit form it still populates the dropdown with the previous record's value.

In that Scenario, you can reset the form on Click of Navigation Button.

and Collect the Form data to a variable on click of the Navigate button.

if you want to go back to screen then assign variable to form in ItemProperties.
