Names and email id is not stored in Sharepoint

Hi srikant,

I have added a Combobox in my app with the following formula in the Items (assuming you have something similar) -

Combobox Items:

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox1.SearchText})

In the fields, I have selected DisplayName and Mail

I then added a button on the screen to save the values in the email and name fields (both single line of text).

Patch formula on the button:

Patch( SPList, Defaults(SPList), { Email: ComboBox1.Selected.Mail, Name: ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName } )

If you are using a form to save the details in SharePoint, use the following on the update property of the form datacards.

//For Email ComboBox1.Selected.Mail // For Name ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName

If you are going to patch multiple selections in your Combobox, use the following on your button:

ForAll(Combobox1.SelectedItems As Item, Patch( SPList, Defaults(SPList), { Email: Item.Selected.Mail, Name: Item.Selected.DisplayName } ))

Hope this helps.

LessCodePaths - really like your response and the explanation. :) I think you will need to replace Email and Name with Mail and DisplayName cause I think Combobox is using Office365Users for Items.

Kind regards,

Nandit

Have you save them to the datasource?

Using Patch() or SubmitForm() functions?

Let's imagine,

You have a ComboBox named ComboBoxField that contains the records with Email and Name.

Your SharePoint list is named YourSharePointList.

The columns in the SharePoint list are also named Email and Name.

Here's the Patch formula to save new item:

Patch( YourSharePointList, Defaults(YourSharePointList), { Email: ComboBoxField.Selected.Email, Name: ComboBoxField.Selected.Name } )

Explanation

YourSharePointList: Name of your SharePoint list.

Defaults(YourSharePointList): This creates a new item in the list.

ComboBoxField.Selected.Email and ComboBoxField.Selected.Name: These fetch the Email and Name values from the selected item in the ComboBox.
