Power Apps: Hidden Choice Fields Submit as Blank in Conditional Forms – Fix

Posted on by SK-31101421-0

In my Power Apps form connected to a SharePoint list, Choice fields (implemented using Dropdown or ComboBox controls) are being treated as **null or blank** when their DataCards are hidden. My form has multiple groups of fields shown conditionally based on button selection. When a user edits an existing record and submits the form without opening all groups, Power Apps considers the hidden Choice fields as blank, even though those fields already have values in the record. This causes validation errors such as “some mandatory fields are not populated,” because hidden Choice controls do not initialize their .Selected or .Selected.Value until they become visible. How to fix this issue?

Power Apps: Hidden Choice Fields Submit as Blank in Conditional Forms – Fix

Hi @SK-31101421-0,

Firstly the Visible property of a control on a form does not affect its operation, so the problem lies elsewhere. Please post (in Text) the Items, Displayfields, DefaultSelectedItems (or Default if classic Dropdown) and Update of the data card. Also whether you use Patch (if so include the code) or SubmitForm to save the Form
