Drop a question if you got, I have some ideas for my next videos! And of course we got to keep creating that Project Management App in Dataverse for Teams!
@@rorsara3940 I think this is a limitation to modern combo boxes right now as they are more preview and not fully released. I have seen this exact problem though. I'll keep researching this one.
What about connecting the modern drop down to a Sharepoint list instead. And then save the drop down value to a single line of text field in SP. I find that the drop down won’t display the value from the single line of text field when editing. Great video! Thank you
I'm all open for other ideas, there are a few ways to do these combo boxes. Hope this video helped spark a few better ideas than I can come up with 😀Thanks for watching Thien!
I've tried it all, but I have a combo box which has a data source of a SharePoint list and it doesn't work. I can patch data from the combo box to the SharePoint list, but once I wish to retrieve the data and allow the user to edit items it does fail. Within my app I do not use forms, only galleries and the patch function and it is not an option to rebuild it from scratch... any ideas to solve it?
Hi Andrew, I am having issues with the Modern combo box, not initializing, go back and forth and it then generates the list etc. Is there a fix. Thank You
Is there any possible way to make 4 comboboxes that filter each other, but doesn't have a specific order of selection? i've been struggling with this one for quite some time now and can't figure it out how to make it work.
Hi Caroline, so you click on one and then the next combo box is filtered out depending on what you select? I guess the issue is clicking in different order?
How do you just display a name instead of an ID for a Lookup Column? I have looked everywhere for info on what should be world's easiest task, but I cannot find this information anywhere. I have to do a lookup by ID. I have to show the name in the combobox and NOT the ID. These are immutable requirements. No other implementation is acceptable; I've asked. Is this really not a feature? ComboBoxes have always had the ability to separate what you bind values to and what you display to the user in every library I've ever used. Is that somehow not in Power Apps? Sorry if this a noob question: I am new to Power Apps. I'm a C# developer primarily.
Also sorry to ask this on YT. I've been posting on forums everywhere with no traction or just people telling me to do something like show the name in another control on the screen. The requirements are the requirements--no other requirements will do. You know you're grasping at straws when you start to think that a YT comment section might be more helpful than the Microsoft forums.
@@scrublord09No problem thanks for asking here, it's easier for me to respond here! So in the "modern" combobox you can actually remove all the other fields, click on the combobox (modern) and then click on the blue text edit fields, delete everything but "Name". Then you can go back from there and add what you want
You should also be able to change the order, if you need ID. In a classic combo box there is a way to do it too, it's just a little different. I may be able to make a video about this also.
How can you create a PowerApp within your environment for a customer so they can use it in their environment? How do you package it and send it to them and help them to get it to run in their environment?

Is there a solution to the delegation problem with the modern combobox for a lookup field (Entra ID for example)? it won't search records past 500

What type of field is in SharePoint? Is it a multi-select choice or a single-line text?... or LookUp?
How about a combo box for Office 365 users? I tried it several times, but it only displayed a few items on the list.

@andrewhess how can we patch empty value in combobox and patch that to the optionset in dataverse or sharepoint please ?
This is awesome! Thank you so much Andrew! I was able to figureout what's wrong with my modern combobox.
Woot woot!! Nice Dave, glad it helped!
Thank you so much!
Thank you too Cedar Ridge!
Thank you for your clear explanation. Now my issue is resolved and i got what exactly want
Nice! That's always great! Thanks for watching

Here on this video doing it in classic, lets see if I can find another in modern: th-cam.com/video/CGN04bLdyRI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L-j3atv3lpHkCFb6&t=843
Thanks for the tip about dragging the Edit form on to figure out the Choices column name. Took a while of googling to figure this out :(
Nice! Glad it was helpful B Toz!

Hi, you can import and export as a package. It's even easier if it's dataverse, with other backends it's a little more difficult.
