Combo Box Search Function Not Working Properly

[JBankston]

I'm using the below formula in a Combo Box. Data source is an SP Library.  The folder names appear in the CB and I can scroll down and see all of them.  Problem I'm having is that when I set the CB to Allow Searching = On. I get a blank search box in the CB, folder names are no longer visible and the search function doesn't work.

ComboBox.Items = Sort(Filter('SP Library','Folder path' = "Folder/Sub Folder/",IsFolder = true),Name,Ascending)

Primary Text = Name

SeachField = Name

I have a delegation warning but the number of folders in the library is < 200... 

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @JBankston ,

It seems that it's a limitation.

As a workaround, we can create a collection when the app loads and use it in items of combo box.

Thank you Wearsky, 

I'm new to PowerApps.  How would I go about making a Collection when the app loads? 

Thanks,

Hi @JBankston ,

You could use the ClearCollect function on OnStart attribute so that the the collection will be created when the app loads.

Yes, thank you.  I was able to figure it out.  This is what I used to create the workaround.
