Dropdown Input Option Disappeared

Posted on by JD-09041325-0

Today I went to try a response to a forum post so created a new App to try it out.
I set the Modern controls and themes to on.

When I went to insert a Dropdown input from the insert menu, it was not there.
Even searching within the insert menu doesn't give it.
I tried turning Modern controls off, and again there was no dropdown input option.

I went back on to the main app that I have been working on, where I already have dropdowns, but the option is no longer there either.
The dropdowns I have are still working, and I can even copy/paste them, but I cannot outright insert a new one.

Have dropdowns been removed from Power Apps?

(I'm still new to Power Apps, and working within Microsoft Teams)

@JD-09041325-0,

There are recent updates happen with respect to Modern Controls, I would request you to update the Authoring version of the Power-apps

@JD-09041325-0,

Yes, for the Authoring version, 3.26042.14 Drop Down Modern Controls is not showing.

As per his (@MS.Ragavendar) suggestion changing the authoring version to 3.26043.12. I could see the control. It worked for me.

Dropdowns have not been removed from Power Apps.

This is a known occasional issue where certain controls disappear from the Insert menu due to interface bugs, particularly when switching between modern and classic control sets

@MS.Ragavendar @Power Platform Guy

Thank you very much.

You were correct, I had to go to version 3.26043.12.

Weirdly I had to do this twice (the first time I did it the authoring version didn't change).

All good now, thanks folks!
