Text Input Update Not Working

Posted on by Masonf2265

Hello,

I have a MS Powerapp customized form for this Hiring tool i built. It pulls from a MS List called "Onboarding Automation Data". I have several people/group columns like Interviewer, Mobile Phone POC, Tech Support, etc. Annotation 2023-03-30 160529.jpg

In each of the data cards, there is a text input that should display the corresponding person's email address. I can get both text inputs to display the correct email addresses but the Tech Support area gives me this error. The error is related to the Update property on Tech support. It is currently Update = ti_techsupport.Text . However, it says it should be a record....

Tech support is set up the exact same way I created Mobile Phone POC and yet the update property of ti_mobilephonePOC.Text works just fine.

The Default Value for the ti_techsupport is : LookUp('Onboarding Automation Data', Position = dd_position1.Selected.Result && Office = dd_Office1.Selected.Result && 'Department' = dd_Department1.Selected.Result).TechSupport.Email

Anyone know what gives?? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi @Masonf2265 ,

The issue here is the type of field being written back to - what is its name and type ?

Hi Warren,

On my Hiring Tool, the column is called Tech support Email and it is a single string text.

On the Onboarding Automation Data list, the column is a person picker and then ti_techsupport should locate and find the record and grab that person's email. When you hit "Done", it should update the Hiring Tool with the person's email....

Not sure if that makes any sense haha!

@Masonf2265 ,

Yes it makes sense and was what I suspected. Why are you using a people picker to store only the email address ? If you change this to Text, it will all work.
