Help with Patching Combobox Searchtext in Gallery

Hi!

I am looking for help Patching a combobox's search text when the combobox.selected."name" is blank.

I have a gallery that contains 10 rows of data and includes comboboxs to log who is working on an item. The goal is that everytime there is an onchange, the selected value is passed to a collection. That part I have covered, but I want the user to be able to type in the search text and if it does not match with an item, then save the searchtext to the collection. The issue here is that there is no onchange triggered when a user leaves the combobox without selecting an item (although the search text remains visible to the user). All of my data is saved via a button that patches the collection to the data source.

Examples:

1) My combobox:

2) My combobox after typing something into the search text and unselecting the box (data is not saved to collection):

Any idea on how to save this searchtext?

Hi @SuperRomes ,

I assume there is a collection:

ClearCollect(DataSrouce,{ColumnName:{Value:"1"}});

and the combo box' items property is

["A","B","C"]

Please try something like:

If( !IsBlank(ComboBox1.SearchText) && IsBlank(ComboBox1.Selected), Patch(DataSrouce,Defaults(DataSrouce),{ColumnName:{Value:ComboBox1.SearchText}}), Patch(DataSrouce,Defaults(DataSrouce),{ColumnName:ComboBox1.Selected}) )

Best Regards,

Bof
