Help with Formula Uses scope - Data Type: Text

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 57

My datasource is a SharePoint List the column, Operation_Hrs, that I am trying to retrieve the data from is formatted as a Multiple Line text field. In the canvas app I have inserted a TextInput in the data card and set the Default to ThisItem.Operation_Hrs but I am getting the "This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation. Data type: Text" I am confused on why this is not bringing in the data. When I play the app as is with the above present in the areas where operation hours should be it shows the following in the field: <div class="ExternalClassF939A69F15064498B3DE2B6355A70A3F">6AM TO 5PM</div>

another one shows this:

<div class="ExternalClassDA3568771AB14FDA8635B7138BF65BE4"><div style="color&#58;rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family&#58;Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size&#58;11pt;">Operating Hours&#58; 6&#58;00 AM to 6&#58;00 AM, Monday through Friday<p>Dispatch Hours&#58; 6&#58;00 AM to 8&#58;00 PM, Monday through Friday</p><p>After Hours (fee may apply)&#58; 6&#58;01 PM to 12&#58;00 AM, Monday through Friday<br></p><br></div></div>

 

This is my first app that I have built so I am unfamiliar with what is happening. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Don't use multiline text columns from SharePoint if you can avoid it.  The single line of text (SLOT) column type is can hold up to 255 characters.

    To display the correctly formatted Operation_Hrs data values, you would use an HTML Text control.

    Alternatively, in your form, you can select Fields > Edit fields, select your Operation_Hrs card, and then choose the 'view rich text' or 'edit rich text' control types.
