How to wipe out Multi Line Text (Rich Text) value in SP List using PowerApps?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 559

I have a SP List titled FinalReviews and at a click of a Delete Icon I like to set the Multi line Text value to Blank. None of the trials below seem to do the job. (It updates the Status but does not replace the Multiline Text Value to Blank...

Any Ideas?

Trial 1:

UpdateIf(
FinalReviews,
ThisRecord.BillsID = galTitlesHome.Selected.ID,
{
FinalNotes: "",
FRStatus: "Pending"
}
);

Trial 2:

Patch(
FinalReviews,
LookUp(
FinalReviews,
ThisRecord.BillsID = galTitlesHome.Selected.ID),
{
BillNo: galTitlesHome.Selected.BillNo,
FinalNotes: "",
FRStatus: "Pending"
}
);

Trial 3:

Patch(
FinalReviews,
galFinalReviews.Selected,
{
FinalNotes: "",
FRStatus: "Pending"
}
);

 

Thank you.

    @SueA, have you tried using the function Blank()

    Final Notes: Blank()

    Thank you for the suggestion. After implementing the Blank() function, I still am getting the attached error. Also, when I go you SP list and click on the record, I can see the Final Notes! But when try to Edit it by clicking the Pencil Icon, the cell on the right is Empty! Not sure what is happening... See attached.

    I also, have turned the Error handling feature on but has not helped...FYI.

    @SueA, I have tried both: "" and Blank(), and they both worked: Make sure your Multi-Text Column property is like this:
