I realized that it wasn't doing the problem every single time - it was only happening when "Quality - Job 7" was selected as the meeting type. Any other selected meeting type was keeping the conditional fields.

Hi Stacey,
Thanks for your screenshots. Looks like you have to insert a variable, that is able to store the filter before or when switching to the 2. screen. With that variable it is possible to store the original filter conditions with that dropdowns. And on switching back you have to activate again that filter variable. Find out about variables in PowerApps Logics, like that tutorial here from April Dunham, maybe this helps... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYqrUpCH1Ao
