Error message on SubmitForm

Posted on by SL-23031253-0

I'm a beginner, and followed a tutorial on how to create an employee recognition app. It's basic, with multi-choice checkboxes that are required. When the form is submitted, this error message appears:

An entry is required or has an invalid value. Field(s) with problems: 'Props Value Demonstrated'. Please correct and try again. See attached Live monitor report (2 out of 5 checkboxes were checked if that helps).

I can close out the error message and submit the form again, and it continues to my "successful submission" screen and populates a Sharepoint list as intended. If I immediately submit a new form, there is no error message at all.

This is the OnSelect Action for my submit button:

If(IsEmpty(colProps),Set(varerror,true),Set(varerror,false)); SubmitForm(Form2)
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @SL-23031253-0,

This error usually happens when the required SharePoint choice column (“Props Value Demonstrated”) isn’t getting a value on the first submit.

The fix is simple:
Update the DataCard’s Update property
Inside the DataCard for Props Value Demonstrated, set:
YourComboBox.SelectedItems

not your collection (colProps). SharePoint multi‑choice fields must receive a table.

Simplify your Submit button
You don’t need the colProps check. Use:
SubmitForm(Form2)

If you want validation:
If(
IsEmpty(YourComboBox.SelectedItems),
Notify("Please select at least one value.", NotificationType.Error),
SubmitForm(Form2)
)

After this, the form will submit cleanly on the first try with no error message.

Please give it a try and let me know.

Thanks for your response! So everywhere I have colProps in the app, should I change it to ComboBox.SelectedItems?

My checkboxes are in a gallery that turns red if no checkboxes are selected, so my OnCheck and OnUncheck actions include colProps.

I also use it to clear my form for a new submission On Visible:

Clear(colProps);

Set(

varCheckboxesReset,

false

);

Set(

varCheckboxesReset,

true

);

Set(

varCheckboxesReset,

false

);
