You cannot set the default items of a ListBox in PowerApps.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi @johnjohn123 ,

If you would like to set multiple default selected items for a single Control within a Canvas App, the Combo box is the only choice.

Hope this helps.

Actually, it is a little easier to utilize a Gallery to mimic the Listbox control as it will look a lot like it and you can "simulate" the selected items pretty easily.  Combobox doesn't give that same feel.

Below is just an example of a component we have made to simulate the listbox and provide default selected items. It's essentially just a Gallery with a Checkbox control in it (checkboxsize is 0).

 

@johnjohn123 Hopefully this gives you some ideas as well of how to work around your issue.
