Hello Everyone, I'm a newbie when it comes to PowerApps and on process of learning it. Right now, I am currently building an app using PowerApps and using Sharepoint as my datasource.

Issue:

I have a combo box on one of my screen and if the value entered is not listed on my column, then the entered text should be accepted as a normal text.

Items Property = (Column Name)

Now, I added a Label to reflect the data entered from the combo box:

Text Property - ComboBox2.SearchText

Then, I added a button that should submit the data from the label (which is dynamic)

OnSelect Property - Patch('SP Name',Defaults('SP Name'), {'Column Name': {Value: "Label4.SelectedText.Value"}})

Please advise.

Thank you!

Hi @Ha-wold ,

Firstly, you should be using ComboBox.Selected.Value (not SearchText), but if you are Patching back to a Text field

Patch( 'SP Name', Defaults('SP Name'), {'Column Name': ComboBoxName.Selected.Value} )
