Dropdown selected value transformed into text label PLEASE

Posted on by MC_07

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a simple text label (Label1) from a dropdown field (DataCardValue1), using the syntax in the Text property of Label1 -> DataCardValue1.Selected.Value but is not working.

Choices are: Improved / stable / deteriorated.

My goal is to simply reference to the input selected and submitted by the user, to show the data sourced by the corresponding display form (where the DataCardValue1 is from).

Could I please ask for some help?

Even a turnaround with a variable might be great, since the dropdown choice column type could not be changed.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Perhaps the column name is not Value.
Use DataCardValue1.Selected. and then see if Power Apps suggests what column name to use?

Hi Rimmon, thanks!

Item property of the data card is the Parent (display form based on SharePoint) and the single choices are simple words: Improved / stable / deteriorated.

Hi @MC_07 ,

Please try this.

Items of DropDown.

["Improved","stable","deteriorated"]

Then please try use DropDownName.Selected.Value on Text of Label control again.

Yes, indeed it now works, but the Gallery is not updating automatically in relation to the form submitted by user.

I am trying as a turnaround to copy-paste the display form again in the screen and customize the datacard in order to look like the text label format I was creating.

Many thanks for the help of course!
Have a nice day!

Hi @MC_07 ,

Do you mean that the selection in drop down were not updated to SP list?

Please check the Update of data card. Check if the data matches the column type.
