Hi

 

I have a datacard for column A, List 1 , and I am displaying combobox options from column A in List 2.

This works.

Next  - I wants to save the selected option in column A, List1 . currently, its not saving any value. anyone has done this before?

    Hi @ssvk,

    That would be a pretty common scenario.  (Assuming that you alread are satisfied with the Items in the Dropdown, that List2 is the other SP list, the Dropdown is called Dropdown1, and that the field name for the Item to be saved in List2 is colB), Add a Button and set its OnSelect property to either:

    • Collect(List2,{colB: Dropdown1.Selected.Value}). or
    • Patch(List2, Defaults(List2),{colB: Dropdown1.Selected.Value})

    Either function in the button will add the selected item in the dropdown to the other SP list. Hope this helps.

    Hi @ssvk,

     

    Are you trying to save the selected options from List2 columnA to List1 columnA? If so, what is the column types of these 2 columns? If both are choices columns, they need to have the same options to make this work.

     

    Regards,

    Mona

    Hi @v-monli-msft,

     

    the error I made was  - the column was of type "CHOICE", where I was trying to save the item. Hence it was not working.

    I changed that type to text field, and it worked now

     

    Thanks
