Has anyone unlocked the secret to creating combo boxes with a static list of items?
I added a combo and populated what I thought was the list items, but I’m getting [object Object] as the display.

Why not use a combo, but hook it to usercodes and maintain the list from there? There is an example of that in the help.
@hmwillett I think you are missing adding the TextField and Value Field properties…
For a static list combo those values should always be display and value (lower cases)
We know it is a bit cryptic to always enter those. We might consider changing this in the future.

Thanks @Ishkaran! I was playing with those fields thinking that was it, but was struggling to find the correct thing to put there.
@Hally I know I could use User Codes and a BAQ, but my intent is to convert a screen we have as-is in order to learn app studio. Wouldn’t be learning much if I changed it to something I already knew how to do.

Thanks! Had exactly the same issue, scratching head… That did the trick!
Appreciate your posting the screenshots!

Hi, I am trying to link baq to the combo box, and the following result:
Could you please let me know the steps to replicate I have written these steps:
What’s the field name from your query? It shouldn’t have a dataview identifier on the beginning.
Should likely be just PBS_ProjectManager_c
What does Dev Tools show when you drop that combo down?
You should have an ExecuteByID firing to load the combo.
Show me a screenshot of your BAQ Display Fields.
the dropdown is just grey out
Did you set the EpBinding? If not, do so.
If yes, is that dataview initialized? If not, create an event after form load and set that field to two double quotes.
Has anyone found a workaround to combining a static list and one that is pulled from a service/BAQ? I’ve tried using the append list function and have not had any luck.
