A drop-down list control is a graphical user interface element that allows users to select one option from a pre-defined list of choices. It's essentially a compact box that, when clicked on, expands to display multiple options in a list format. Users can scroll through this list and make a selection by clicking on one of the options. The chosen option then replaces the default text in the box, providing a clear and concise way to capture user input.
By the end of this video, you will learn how to use the dropdown list control in your Power Apps applications. The essential properties we'll be covering include: items (or data source), value, SelectedText, Selected (to get at all the other fields in the underlying record), default, AllowEmptySelection, OnSelect, OnSelect, etc.
