Autopopulate Label based on DataCardValue Selected Item

Posted on by poweruser_21

Hi all,

From the simple picture below, I have a Form (red outline) that is connected to a SharePoint List. This Form has a DataCard field called "quarter lookup", which is a lookup field for values housed in another SharePoint List.

I know they're not the same type of data, but is there a way I can autopopulate the Text Label (outside the Form) with the value shown in the quarter lookup (Q1 in this case)?

FYI, I was unsuccessful when I added any the following to the Text Property of the Label: <quarter_lookup_DataCard1.Selected>

<quarter_lookup_DataCard1.Selected.Value>

<DataCardValue1.Selected>

Many thanks,

Hi @poweruser_21 ,

The correct one is (assuming that is the Combo Box name)

quarter_lookup_DataCard1.Selected.Value

Firstly, paste that in the same data card and see if it works. If so, there is possibly a current bug affecting this. What is the DefaultMode and the Item of the Form.

Hi @WarrenBelz,

Thanks for your response.

That didn't work unfortunately. The DefaultMode of the Form is <Edit> and its Item Property is dependent on the selection of a ComboBox choice that lives outside the Form.

For the current query, however, I was able to make the Text Property of the Label as a variable (_varqlookup), and then I set the quarter lookup Datacard's OnChange property to fill the Label:
<Set(_varqlookup,DataCardValue153.Selected.Value)>

I do not know if this is an extremely crude way of doing it, or whether I will run into issues in the future, but its doing what I need at the moment.

P.S: From your response, may I know how you got the code in that box:

@poweruser_21 ,

I was simply supplying the code that should work based on your post - and yes, a Variable is a good workaround.
