Update record from dropdown - PATCH

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ross369 32

Hi Experts,

 

I am a beginner to PowerApp.

 

I have a form (taking a request some name and short text) and any user can view the form select the name from pre defined choices and assign it to themselves.

 

I have a main sharepoint site where all request form info are stored and I have a column called " Assigned to"

 

Choices - Stored in Different Site.

Selected choice value from dropdown should be update in the main sharepoint site column "Assigned to".

 

Patch(RequestDB,Defaults(RequestDB),{'Assignedto' : AssignDD.SelectedText})

    FYI: SelectedText has been deprecated and should no longer be used.  In the Update property of the card for 'Assigned to', containing AssignDD, replace any text there with:

    AssignDD.Selected.Value

    When the form is submitted, the name should be in the 'Assigned to'  field.

    I don't quite understand. Do you want multiple people to be able to assign the same choice to themselves? The code you have will create a new record in RequestDB. Presumably it will also record who created that record. What is your question?
