Combining First Name and Last Name Fields into another field Full Name

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by gsr51

I have a SharePoint list customized with a Power App form.

I have these three fields:

First Name (single line text)

Last Name (single line text)

Full Name (single line text non-editable / view only)

What's the best way to combine both First Name and Last Name fields into the Full Name field? Is there a way to do this as the user is filling in the form? I'm thinking I can trigger the Full Name update from the First Name and Last Name OnChange events?

What's the best approach?

Thanks,

-Greg

Thanks. Should I do the Concatenate() only on the Last Name's OnChange? First Name and Last Name are both required fields. I'm just wondering if I need to do anything on the First Name or if there's a better way without onChange.

If oyu just make it the default of the full name label/or text box, it will auto update as they type.

somethign like

Concatenate(TextInput1.Text," ", TextInput2.Text)

Perfect. Putting it on the Default value for Full Name is what I was looking for.

Thanks!
