Hi, I'm new to Power apps and was wondering if I can get any suggestions on how I can add an item (value) onto this current collection.

    Hi @cnoh ,

     

    It seems that it is a collection, you can use Collect or Patch to update items of it and the formula should be on behavior properties, such as OnSelect of button.

    Here is document for your reference:

    Patch function (contains video) - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn [1533-387a-452-97c3]

    OnSelect of a button:

    Patch(colRequesStatus,Defaults(colRequesStatus),{Value:"test"})

    Collect, Clear, and ClearCollect functions - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

    OnSelect of a button:

    Collect(colRequesStatus,{Value:"test"})

     

    Best regards,

    Rimmon

    Hi Rimmon, thank you for your help.  I tried both of the formulas and it's still not populating from the drop down box...
