Form-SharePoint Choice column not populating in SharePoint list

(1) Share

Posted on by MD-31081332-0

I am much a newbie to PowerApp forms. Have read other like issues but none of the solutions are working which totally could be me not understanding. SharePoint field Condition (Choice field) is the only one that won't populate in SharePoint on submit. Choice values properly show and can change selection. At this point, not sure what I need to update to get the selection to populate in SharePoint list. I am not really sure what screenshots will help you all help me. So let me know what else I can provide.

My form:

Condition is the choice column in SharePoint list that is not populating when submit.

Some online suggestions that I reviewed and tried:

- Change Update field to say Result instead of value. Value is what populated by default. When I change to Result it gives error and says to fix formula.

- Check the items choices points to right list and field.

A few said to type ThisItem.Condition in the default box. When I do this get error.

- change display mode for card to new. I am not seeing that I can change that new. Card is unlocked.

- check submit button OnSelect and make sure field is in the form being submitted

Checked and Condition field is in Form1

Hello @MD-31081332-0,

You’re passing the whole selected record instead of just the value. (For a SharePoint Choice column, the Update property must return a record, not just text. )

Update Property:

DataCardValue23.Selected

Choice field expects a record (which contains the Value), not plain text, otherwise it won’t update correctly.

If your dropdown is using Result instead of Value, then your Update property should return a record like this:

{Value: DataCardValue26.Selected.Result}

That wraps the selected text back into the record format SharePoint expects.

Note: If you don’t have Result and your dropdown shows something else (like Value), then replace Result with whatever column name your control is using.

Just make sure you’re returning a record, not just text.

Hi @MD-31081332-0,

Firstly @Kalathiya is correct here, so please mark that.

Just adding something for clarity (and future readers) - Power Apps has not used Result as an output of anything for a number of years and any articles referencing this would be quite old. It was previously used for functions such as Distinct and GroupBy, but these are now all standarised to Value.

@Kalathiya I tried the changes but still not getting the condition to write.

Here are some more screen shots. I know it is me still missing something.

After trying, I completely removed the Condition field and readded it. Just to make sure I did not have anything I had updated somewhere else that was not the default.

Hierarchy:

When I remove the .Value from Update field. It gives me an error.

Here is look when I have the .Selected.Value:

Tried entering this and get the same formula error as above: Tried with just .selected, .select.result, and .selected.value. when I add value is the only time get no formula error message but also nothing writes.

{Value: DataCardValue26.Selected.Result}

@Kalathiya, still give me error message:

Double checked my DataCardValue26 name and it matches.

Tried other variations:

{Value: DataCardValue26.Selected.Value}

{Value:DataCardValue26.Selected.Value}

Value:DataCardValue26.Selected.Value

Value: DataCardValue26.Selected.Value

It suggested for me to try these edits:

{Value(DataCardValue26.Selected.Value)} - same error

Value:DataCardValue26.Selected.Value - error is Value is not

Could I have a property somewhere else that is causing it not to see it as the choice dropdown that I need to check?

Hello @MD-31081332-0,

It looks like your syntax is correct.

Could you please try removing Condition_DataCard6 from the form and then adding it back again?

Sometimes, PowerApps caches or glitches with data cards can cause these “there is an error in this formula” messages even when the formula is correct.

Hope this helps!
