OnChange to update sharepoint listitem

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello trying to make a TextInput display a current value from a sharepoint list item,

But i want user to be able to simply click on input and type something new in or add to it. Due to the way i am checking for the record - i would like to display by default the current record text ( comments ).

I tried to edit the OnChange field to use an UpdateIf and Match to compare and find the correct record - but it does not like the way I am doing this. Anyone able to help here? i am kind of stumped. Need to make sure the current label is also the same "trailer record" that its updating so this data follows the trailer if it moves location.

OnChange

UpdateIf('Trailer Tracking', Match('374B1TrailerLabel'.Text,Trailer.Value), Comments.Text = '374B1Comments'.Text);

Default

 LookUp('Trailer Tracking', Building.Value = "374" && Dock.Value = "B1" && '374B1TrailerLabel'.Text = Trailer.Value, Comments)

You need to write the filed you are updating in curly bracket

Hi @Anonymous ,

Are you simply trying to update the current record with the new comments?

UpdateIf( 'Trailer Tracking', Trailer.Value='374B1TrailerLabel'.Text, {'374B1Comments':Comments.Text} }

You can also use Patch

Patch( 'Trailer Tracking', {Trailer.Value:'374B1TrailerLabel'.Text}, {'374B1Comments':Comments.Text} }

I am assuming here Trailer is a Choice field (not a Lookup)

Hi WarrenBelz,

It appears both of those snippets are still showing as an error. Yes - i want it to compare the value the trailer currently showing in dock B1 is the same record in the sharepoint list - then change the comment text string if user types anything in the text input

Hi @Anonymous ,

What type of field is Trailer? I was simply using the values you posted (the syntax is correct for both the Patch and the UpdateIf). If it is a Text field, you do not need the .Value.

Yes Trailer is choice, believe it is also index'ed so there are no duplicates.

Looks like for the UpdateIf it only has the Comments.Text underlined. I thought this is correct as it is just a single line of text
