Sharepoint list not updating

Posted on by berkenmi

Hi all,
Please help!!
I create a canvas app from scratch - but my SharePoint list is not updating all the fields
I used a form, but struggled to add dropdowns, so I added a dropdown manually and linked the data captured to the form field with (Dropdown14.Selected.Value) - same was used for the field where date is entered. I then made the form field not visible. But the fields are not updating on my SharePoint list even though when testing, it reflects correctly what was selected on the dropdowns / date.

Hello @berkenmi Try change Selected value to SelectedText the reason is when You manually set dropdown it will store text as value what is not compatible with Your SharePoint column what expecting Text.

Also You can easy change Your Form Boxes from Text Input to drop down by delating the current field and than adding it again when it's in Lock state you can than go to "Field Edit" pick control You want to change to in this case dropdown you doing it by changing "Control type" by picking "Allowed Values" after the Field will change to dropdown go to settings on the Right and unlock the field than Highlight the Dropdown button and on Advance in Item Property add Array of Choices example ["1","2"] now that Array will be populating Your dropdown and the whole form will work correctly You can of Corse connect it to a another list with choices to make it more dynamic.

Hope that Helps

Regards

@berkenmi ,

Note SelectedText is deprecated and as you are not getting an error on your code I assume the field you are writing back to is a Single Line of Text. If it is a Choice column, you need

{Value: Dropdown14.Selected.Value}

Can you please confirm also that the DataSource of the Data Card is set to this field and also what are the Items and Default of Dropdown14.
