How to display choice value in dropdown in gallery?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 158

Hello,

 

I have a dropdown in my gallery where I would like to display choice for a record. I am not sure how this function works. When I type 

Choices('Training log dbs'.'Employee Status') it won't show anything in my dropdown. I know it is usually done by collection but on this one I need to display data from dataverse which has already been chosen. Any ideas, please? 'Training log dbs' is name of table and 'Employee Status' is one of its columns. I am trying to follow this video of Reza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76RJyaoW0BQ

 

Regards

    Hi @marcy_pi ,

     

    You can add the code in the items property on your dropdown:

    Choices('Employee Status (Training log dbs)')

     

    Hope this helps

    Hi, Marcy_pi,

     

    I think that if your Employee Status is a Choice column you need a dropdown, if it's a Choices with an (s) column you will need a Combo box for it to work?
