Hi Guys,

As the header suggests, I have an edit form connected to a SP list (List 1), I've updated the Item property on a couple of dropdown lists (dd_1 and dd_2) to read from another SP list (List 2), it reads the data ok from List 2 but isn't writing back to List 1, when I submit the form it writes to all other fields except the two controls that read from List 2.

Obviously, dd_1 and dd_2 are custom cards as I had to edit them, in order to get around the issue I added the default cards for dd_1 and dd_2 and attempted to reference the values from the custom cards but my formulas aren't working. I have tried dd1.SelectedItems and dd1.SelectedItems.Result, both return error 'The property on this control expects record values. The rule produces Table values which are incompatible'

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I got it working in the end simply by deleting the data card and adding it again. This time instead of changing the control from edit text to allowed values, I deleted the control completely and added a dropdown control. I have no idea what the difference is

Hi @JimJim ,

For lookup fields I guess you need to pass values in below format.
ColumnName: { Value: Yourvalue }

Hi @PriyankaGeethik ,
They are lookup fields. The Item property is something like Sort(Distinct(sp_List2,Title),Result)
And the update property of the card is dd_1.SelectedText
