Remove default value from dropdown

[SandraAkujobi]

I'm still struggling to remove a default value for the dropdown. The form is showing default value even in New Mode. Is there a way to fix it.

You can use this code in the Default property of the card to show Blank when the form is new mode.

If(Form1.Mode<>FormMode.New, ThisItem.FieldName)

I've tried it but it's showing an error?

Can you please share the error message you are receiving?

@mdevaney 

Should be - 

If(Form1.Mode<>FormMode.New, ThisItem.FieldName)

Sorry...just happened to read this post.

@RandyHayes 
Yeah, you're right.  Just doing this all from memory.  Syntax/Property Name errors will happen.  Thank yoy!

I know what ya mean!  I wish there was a free-form formula editor that didn't care about context.  And also that properties and enums matched by name. 😉

Yes, agreed.  Kind of like JS Fiddle or Code Pen for Power Apps.

Hi @RandyHayes that also didn't seem to work. Would it be because the dropdown is collecting data from another list. I used this method because I went over the lookup max.

Could provide the formulas for your datacard (Update and Default) properties and also Default and Items properties for the DropDown?  You mentioned this was a DropDown...is it or is it a combobox?  If a combobox, then also share your formula for the DefaultSelectedItems property of the combobox.
