Dear all,

 

I am having a trouble with the combobox. 

I have a textfield that is filled by a combobox selection. The app works fine in the beginning, but then after a while the texfield is taking the combobox ID and not the combobox Text after submitting the form. 

i am confused, not sure where did I make it wrong? 

any one had the same issue? 

i am using the classic form control. 

 

best regards,

    @exyz -

     

    1. What is your data source (SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL etc)
    2. Which control is the Update property of your Edit Form control pointing at? The ComboBox or the Text field (I assume Label)?
    3. What formula do you in the Items property of that ComboBox?
    4. What is the data type of the field the ComboBox is bound to? (Single Line Text, Number, Choice etc)

    Hallo Amik,

     

    see my answer below:

     

    1. What is your data source (SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL etc) - Sharepoint List
    2. Which control is the Update property of your Edit Form control pointing at? The ComboBox or the Text field (I assume Label)? The update property is Concat(combobox.selecteditems, „column name“, „separator“).
    3. What formula do you in the Items property of that ComboBox? The sharepoint list and then edited the fields (by choosing the column I want to use)
    4. What is the data type of the field the ComboBox is bound to? (Single Line Text, Number, Choice etc) - single line text

    @exyz - regarding question 2 & 3 - please confirm the actual formulas you're using (in text).
