Posted on by
I have a sharepoint which I connected to my power app canvas. I have created three forms on three screens from the same sharepoint selecting different fields for each form. I want to combine them so that when I click on submit at the last screen, the data from all three forms gets combined and enters into sharepoint as one single record. Till now I have tried form updates, using a variable , patch, but nothing is working. Is this because of different data types that's causing patch to not work? I have in ttoal 50 fields so a a solution that can be implemented at the form level is the best for me.

    Hi, I hope you are well...
     
    My solution was to create the database that will collect all the information in text mode (all fields), and then I called different SharePoint lists connected to PowerApps with the dropdowns. Finally, the "Update" formula field is related to the value selection of the selected field and it will make the record in your SharePoint list co-related to the dropdown fields. You can also perform the Distinct and Filter in the Items fields of each dropdown so that it brings the information you require.

    For example:
    I have a field called "Region" and a field called "City" in text mode in my BD_Sharepoint. But the information for "Region" and "City" are in another SharePoint list called "BD_Country".
    Finally, I create the form in PowerApps, and I delete the "DataCardValue" from the field to replace it with a "ComboboxCanvas".

    In that ComboboxCanvas for Region, what I do is: In the Items field, I apply the formula: Distinct(BD_Country;Title) where "Title" is the name of the region.

    In the ComboboxCanvas1 for City, what I do is: in Items, I apply the formula Distinct(Filter(BD_Pais; ComboboxCanvas1.Selected.Value = Title);'City) where Title is my Country and City is what I want the combobox for the field to bring me.

    Finally, in the Update action for each card, what I do is make my record the Combobox's value selection. For example, in case 1 for region, my Update will be ComboboxCanvas.Selected.Value
    I hope I have been of help.

    Regards
