I have a customized sharepoint list form with fields that have values cleared based on values in a dropdown multi-select.

To keep it simple, I will focus on one field, txtNewAddress.

txtNewAddress gets its value from a variable "_NewAddress" that is populated on form load from a datacard.

txtNewAddress has a variable also tied to the reset attribute, resetFlag.

The field txtNewAddress needs to be cleared if the aforementioned dropdown does not contain "Forward".

I have this working using the following code on change:

Set(_NewAddress,Blank());
Set(resetFlag, true);
Set(resetFlag, false)

However, when I save the record, the blank value is not saved. While I have logic on the form prevents it from appearing in the field, I can see the value in the sharepoint list. This is how I know it did not update.

If I edit the field post reset the field value will save.
If I edit the field post reset, but reset it again it will not save.
So, I think it has something to do with it being reset (maybe reset fields do not save?).

If it matters, I am utilizing buttons as functions for code that is reused often. The above code is in a button that is triggered with a Select() when the ddl changes because that same code is also fired on launch (as this code will eventually also show/hide these fields).

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @joeh,

Can you share a bit more about your issue ?

Can you show me the column type of ‘txtNewAddress’?

How is "_NewAddress" variable populated from a datacard ?

By your saying “if the combo box does not contain Forward”, can you show me the formula about this ？

I made a test . there is no issue on my side .

Column1 is choice type.

Set Onchange property of datacardvalue2 to :

If(DataCardValue2.Selected.Value<>"Forward",Set(NewAddress,Blank());Set(resetFlag,true),Set(NewAddress,DataCardValue2.Selected.Value))

Set Default property of datacardvalue3(txtNewAddress) to :

NewAddress

Set reset property of datacardvalue3(txtNewAddress) to :

resetFlag

Please check if the txtNewAddress field is assigned a value in your formula.

Regards,

Eason
