multiselect check boxes in custom SharePoint form with PowerApps not retaining check box values

[GMRaju3]

Multiselect check boxes in custom SharePoint form with PowerApps not retaining check box values in edit and view mode of the SharePoint list item.

As per REZA's tutorial on YouTube. The last form screen code setting to gallery selected category field values cant work as I am converting the dropdown to check boxes on a SharePoint custom form. Unable to retain the selected values at dropdown or check boxes on edit and display modes . Any help please

here is the simple format I was trying this feature with

Test2 item had two choices selected

but it shows none at edit mode.

Hi @GMRaju3 

To set or retain  the checkbox values, we need to make sure 2 things

1. Set the Default property of the Card to the collection where you have Gallery (Note: Data Card not the control)
2. Onvisible property of the screen

Clear(CollectioName);
If(FormName.Mode <> FormMode.New)
(
Collect(CollectionName, 
LookUp(SPList,ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID,ColumnName)
)

Hi @GMRaju3

I assume checked data saved to Sharepoint properly. To investigate the issue, Can you insert the label on the form to set the multiDD field to see where the data is able to retrieve properly?

Concat(LookUp('Custom SP From Design',ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID,multiDD), Text(Value) & ";")

Yes, label is showing values from SP list and I have managed to get checkboxes ticked as per the default values saved to SharePoint list for that item. 

Something wrong and  replacing the items to empty record for dropdown control..😓

I will hide the dropdown control anyways for this form. 

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
