Hi Community,

I am very new to PowerApps and self-learning along the way, and would appreciate any help. Thank you!

I want to use PowerApps to populate my datasource, and have created a "Create" button. With this "Create" button, I have used OnSelect and the Collect function. However I am getting the following message.

"Incompatible Type. The 'Title' column in the data source you're updating expects a 'Text' type but you're using a 'Control' type."

I was trying to insert .text after the Title_DataCard1 but there is no such option, which I think is because of the error?

Hi @elleeyl ,

the screenshot is very hard to read.

Do you have a better one?

Edit:
Ahh, got it....

You may not use the DataCard. Use the Control under the DataCard:

This DataCardValue8 is a Textbox that has a Property "Text".

Hi @elleeyl

Instead of referring to the Title_DataCard1, you need to select the individual control, which should be like DataCardValue12, this can be retrieved by expanding the datacard in left menu. Please make sure that you are selecting correct control.

Expression: DataCardValue12.Text

Hope this Helps!
