'Powerapps Add Item to lookup field refresh combobox choices

I have two lists:

  1. Projects
  2. Contacts

I have a powerapp that let you add new projects, it has a lookup field for contacts. In the app you can click add contact, create a new contact and submit. It then returns you to the project page.

The new value isn't in the lookup for contacts until you refresh the page.

How do I add the value to the combobox and set it to the newly added value?



Solution 1:[1]

I figured it out, I was refreshing the contact field even though the lookup was to Project.Contact. Once I updated the project field I'm golden.
