I am trying to get the input from textinput

I have patch function added onSelect property of my button name "Add"

But whenever i try to use below formula, I get following error:

Patch('Global Numbers', Defaults('Global Numbers'),{Sourcing_Category:Add_Source.SelectedText.Sourcing_Category_Name}

"The type of this argument ‘cr63b_sourcecategoryname does not match the expected type ‘OptionValueValue’. Found type ‘Text'"

I am trying to fix this error since 3 days, no success yet 😞

Hi @BS0323 ,

First of all you should be populating your dropdown list with the Choices for the Choice column you are looking to utilize from Dataverse. Example, for my Cats table I have a Choice for Breed and the Items property of my dropdown field in the canvas app is:

Choices('Gender (Cats)')

This populates the dropdown with all the choice options for the user to select from...

The Patch statement can then reference this directly like the following (simplified version of the patch) where both Gender and Demeanor are Choice columns and the dropdowns are populated from these choice values.

Patch(Cats, Defaults(Cats), {Gender: Dropdown1.Selected.Value, Demeanor: Dropdown2.Selected.Value});
