How do you get the multiple selections to show on your first page in the gallery?
Can you please further elaborate on the code you're using "On Visible"? What if we do not have a "GallaryTask" to use? What would you advise? Right now I am using the code below but not having any success in retaining/archiving old submissions.
If(varMode<>"New",
Collect(
colCategoryData, 'TestPortal'.NextStepsCheckbox))
I have a similar yet simpler need. I followed these instructions, but I don't need the first gallery. My form is not for an app but a custom SP list form. It has two multi-select choice fields associated with lookup lists instead of choice fields. In the form, I removed the combo boxes from both, added the gallery control and checkbox. Both display the full list of options and save the selections to the list. However, reopening the list after saving, the checkboxes are all blank. I cannot figure out how to make them display the selected options after submitting. I currently have "ThisItem.Value in colLocations.Value" in the Default field for the checkbox within the gallery. I'm assuming the collections don't retain their values once the form is submitted and closed. I've tried repopulating them in the OnStart of the App control using "ClearCollect(colLocations, ListName.Location)", but still nothing appears as selected in the checkboxes. What am I doing wrong?
I observe the same behavior. After Submitting the PowerApps Form the SharePoint Choice Column is filled but after reopening the PowerApps Form the Default Values remains empty = the Checkboxes are blank.
Seconding this issue. I have everything set up as shown in the video, and my checkboxes are not being set per the values in the collection.
First I want to Thank You for showing us how to use Multi Select Check boxes step by step in your video. I want to ask you is if the choice column in SharePoint list has Allow 'Fill-in' choices set to 'Yes' then by default it does not appear in form such an option. So how to go around solve this problem. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
