Help with Expand Fields

Forms
1

Hi,
I am trying to create a dropdown from another sharepoint list, but i want it to have 2 of the columns in the dropdown.

My control lookup field is called description.

its looking at another list and pulling through the description from that list but i want it to also pull in the column called name

i have added in the name to both extra and expand fields, but the list comes up blank...
when i remove it from expand field it works and I just see description.

I just want it to display the Name - Description in the dropdown.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Ben

Hello @Ben_Page,

You only need to specify the field name in the Expand fields property if the column's type is Lookup, Person or Group, or Managed Metadata.

If a column type is Text, you only need to enter its internal name in the Extra fields property.

If you want the Description to be displayed directly in the dropdown list of the lookup field, you need to change the appearance of the search results. Please find more information in the documentation:

If you want the data to be displayed on the form after the user selects an option, you need to populate another field or control on the form. Please learn more here:
