Posted on by 828 Season of Giving Solutions 2025
Hi!
 
 
Hi have a gallery that when selected it shows the info in a form (form1). When I change that value and clicking the button to submit and change it in the list with simply Submit(Form1) it doesnt do that. It changes everything else but just that option it doesnt.
 
Update control: 
{ Value: DataCardValue5.Selected.Value }
 
Items control of the datacard combobox (so it show all values available):
Choices([@'Registre entrega Documentació'].Estat_petici_x00f3_)
 
Why is this happening? 
 
I think it was working earlier but now it doesnt change the list of the sharepoint. What can I do to fix it?

    Hi @Charlie Martharper,
     
    This happens probably for the following reasons:
    • The ComboBox’s selected value is not properly bound to the form’s data card Update property.
    • The ComboBox control inside the form card is returning a value or record that the form doesn’t recognize as a valid update.
    • The form’s data card for that field is not configured to accept the ComboBox’s .Selected item as the update value.

    How to address this:

    1. Unlock the data card for the ComboBox field inside the form.

    2 Set the data card’s Update property to the ComboBox’s selected item, for example: ComboBox1.Selected

    Note: This ensures the form submits the full selected record, not just a text or partial value.

    3. Ensure the ComboBox’s DefaultSelectedItems property is set to the current value from the form’s item, for example: [ThisItem.LookupField] or if it’s a single value: [ThisItem.YourField]

    4. Verify the ComboBox’s Items property is set to the correct data source and that the Value or SearchFields properties are configured properly.

    The issue is in the data card's Update property. Your SharePoint column Estat_petici_x00f3_ is a Choice column, but the Update property is currently returning { Value: DataCardValue5.Selected.Value } which is a plain text record. SharePoint expects a proper Choice record, not a custom wrapper, so it silently ignores the value and saves nothing.
     
    Fix: change the data card's Update property from:

    { Value: DataCardValue5.Selected.Value }
    To:
    DataCardValue5.Selected
     
    That's it. No changes needed to SubmitForm. The form will now send a valid Choice record back to SharePoint and the column will update correctly.
     
    Also check the combo box Default property. If you're using this in an edit form, the Default should be:

    ThisItem.Estat_petici_x00f3_
    This ensures the current value shows correctly in the combo box when editing an existing record. If Default is set to something else, the combo box will appear blank when opening an existing item.
     

     

    Best regards,

    Valantis
