How to suppress the initial (placeholder) Content?

[pcampbell-avodaq]

This is a fantastic extension to PowerApps - thank you so much!

One problem I'm having is that the component displays some default content when the app loads, and I don't seem to be able to prevent this behaviour.

I have Content=myVariable.

myVariable is blank when the app starts and at some is set to a string containing markdown.

However, when the app starts (or becomes visible), the default content is always shown.

It also doesn't seem possible to "reset" the content. If I perform an action in the app which clears myVariable, e.g. Set(myVariable,""), then this is not reflected in the markdown component (it continues to display whatever myVariable used to hold).

(Sorry, I'm more of a dabbler in PowerApps so some of my terminology may be off).

@pcampbell-avodaq yes, I have seen this issue but I haven't fixed it yet.

However, you can bypass this issue at the markdown control property Content. Use this code snippet:

Coalesce(myVariable, " ")

The " " single space as default reset the control content.

Thanks. This workaround actually occurred to me yesterday, just didn't get round to adding it here.
