I have been struggling with a multiline text field returning HTML DIV tags in the first and last record of a collection when I point it to this particular column. I don't remember how many times I have heard Darren say, "Make sure you select plain text when adding a text column in SharePoint." Well today CoPilot was able to give me a correct answer for why the text was showing up wrapped in HTML. It suggested checking the column type. When I looked at the settings, there it was, plain as day. The first record showed up with <div class="ExternalClass3EF1E2D3305044989EAF2F23DE178BF6"> where the class name changed each time I ran the app. The last record had </div> after the single digit number. No matter how I tried using the Substitute function, the next time I opened the app for editing the class changed, and the Substitue functions did not work anymore.

I am wondering if anyone has done a filter a SP List and used a variable, say from a With statement, as the column name to filter for certain criteria (and gotten it to work). Something like: With({FilterCritera:DropDown1.Selected.Value}, ClearCollect(colEvidenceCollection, Filter(SPListName, FilterCriteria = "Yes")))

Lots of new faces in here since I last saw things. Hope to talk to folks about PowerApps, Coding in general, data and Gardening! :) Allow me to introduce myself. I used to be a regular in here but have been off saving the world one PowerApps at time. I love to code. I love to teach coding. Im a friend of Darren's and hope to be an asset in here. Oh....and Darren thinks Im old.
