[denisskorikov]

Wow! I didn't know about that code component! It would be a very interesting video if you could should top-"x" code components which might be used for different scenarios.

First off- - Great video, thank you! I have a question though: Why do I get errors when I try to set up a combo box with allow searching? If i disable allow searching the error goes away. The error isn't very helpful and seems tied to the 'DisplayFields' property of the combobox control. The error says "Unexpected characters. The Formula contains 'Eof' where 'ParenClose' is expected." Thanks

Just a small issue when setting the selection menu to visible false because, in the newer versions, the controller does not load values if it is not visible. but great video 💟

[LarrysStride]

Excellent Video. What about a people picker that allows for multiple selections. Do you have a video that outlines how to send all choices to a SharePoint List?

[meyrielleveloso]

Hi Reza, amazing video. Do you have a video for people picker in modern combo box?

[davidclay]

Questions for you Reza, 1) Can one put the People Screen Template into a Container? 2) Can you create two separate SearchTextBoxes and galleries doing the same thing but populating 2 Collections inorder to populate 2 different list fields in SP and 3) What the best way to do a responsive form, using a Form Screen template or with in a Container?

[sateesh]

Hey Reza, great video! Can you do a video on repeating tables for powerapps like we have repeating section in Infopath where we can add multiple entries for a child list while creating a request in parent list?

[kutyafal]

Hi Reza, love your videos! How would you pre-populate a people picker with the current user on a PowerApp list form?

[bobbyw]

Thanks for another great vid Reza! Since my org is huge, would it be a better idea to just build a custom user table in dataverse and search though this versus searching through Active directory?

[anthonyanyoti]

Hi Reza, awesome video as always, thank you! Having issues with the modern combo box which limits results to only 30 users, how do I go about increasing the limit?

[SaurabhSharma-ovox]

Hi Reza,

Great content ! Can you please specify what should be the update and default value for combo box as person field.

I am facing an issue when the form is updated the field becomes blank .

Thankyou In advance for your help !
