Patch not accepting Dropdown Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 262

Hi 

I have a SP list with a column called "Outcome", which is a Text Value.  In my app I have a Dropdown called Verdict and I use this Patch function to update the list:

Patch(tbl,LookUp(tbl,Title=Record),{User: varUser, Outcome:Verdict.Selected, Date:Today(), 'Notes': Notes})

The values in the Dropdown are Approved and Rejected.  If I hard code "Approved" in the Patch function, there is no issue.  But if I change it to the above, it will error.

 

Any ideas would be helpful.

    Hi , @Skybluekid 

    You can try to use this code :

     

     

    Patch(tbl,LookUp(tbl,Title=Record),{User: varUser, Outcome:Verdict.Selected.Value, Date:Today(), 'Notes': Notes})

     

     

    The Verdict.Selected return a record. You need to use the Verdict.Selected.fieldName to get the selected item's value from your dropdown control.
