Dropdown change all entries in a sharepoint column

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 697

Hello!

So I have a Sharepoint List as my data source, called 'Saginaw' that looks something like this : 

CharlesBrewer_0-1685457978585.png

The important column is the 'PreferFillcolor'.  I have a dropdown (Dropdown1) in Powerapps that I want them to be able to select the fill color for their entries :

CharlesBrewer_1-1685458048269.png


Currently, on the "OnChange" I have the following : 

 

Patch(
 Saginaw,
 LookUp(
 Saginaw,
 'Created By'.DisplayName = User().FullName
 ),
 {PreferFillColor: Dropdown1.Selected.Value}
)

 

This seems to change the color in sharepoint for the first entry, but not all of them. I need them all changed for that specific user, any thoughts?
For the "Save and Close" button I also have this, but I don't know if it's necessary or not at this juncture because of changes : 

 

Set(varShowSettings,false);
With(
 {
 wColor: 
 LookUp(
 Saginaw,
 'Created By'.DisplayName = User().FullName
 ).PreferFillColor
 },
 Set(
 gblColor,
 Switch(
 wColor,
 "Blue",
 Color.Blue,
 "Green",
 Color.Green
 )
 )
)

 


Let me know if you need any more information, thanks!

    Nevermind on this, I got it to work using the UpdateIf

    UpdateIf(Saginaw, 'Created By'.DisplayName = User().FullName, {PreferFillColor: Dropdown1.Selected.Value})
