Data from my drop down list isn't populating my drop downs in PowerApps

Hi Everyone,

 

So I have no idea what is causing this, but I need to find out.

 

I have this infopath form, which was created a while back, but still for sharepoint 365. It has a lot of rules around a number of drop down lists, I think I have counted something like 75 rules for when to show these drop down lists. Anyway, I am trying to convert them to moblie apps using PowerApps, this is my first time using this tool.

The thing is, I have this two drop down lists that are returning :

Instead of what it is supposed to be pulling:

And I really can't figure out why? All the drop downs are getting the data the same way. I just have a few lists that are giving me bad information.

 

Could anyone tell me how to fix this please? 

 

And yes, I am using PowerApps Rules on these drop down lists, trying to make them show up like they do in infopath. Could this be part of the issue?

    Well, ok, I have found a fix for it, not one I really like, but it is a fix anywhoo.

     

    I went to the list tab on the libraries tabs, and then I selected List settings. From there I clicked the link of the item that was giving me the Enter Choice #1 stuff and replaced it with what i wanted to see.

     

    So again, no idea why this is happening, but it would appear that the fix is easy.
