I have this column that is a choice column= yes,no

in the custom page I need to change the dropdown to a toggle, but i still need to data to go into the final reports table, so the data can be tracked.

This is on the items of the dropdown.

How do I do this?

You need to do this in the data source and not the App. The toggle would automatically appear if it were a yes/no column and you're getting a drop down automatically as you have a Choice Column.

Was the column a Choice previously and you changed it? Did you add the toggle or the drop down to the datacard?

yes/no is under the choice option in datatype. In the table it shows as a toggle. The dropdown shows automatically, I added the toggle.

What is your data source? You should add a yes/no column and not a choice column with the yes/no option.

I figured it out.
1. change the toggle name to the data card value name of the field.
2. On the fields update section change it to:
If(togglename.checked,'fieldname(tablename)',toggleoption1,'fieldname(tablename)',toggleoption2)
3. On the toggle checked section change to:
If(ThisItem.fieldname='fieldname(tablename)',toggleoption1, true,false)
