Is there an invisible connection between a form card and the sharepoint column it was originally created for?

Hello everybody,

 

I create a form and connect it to a list in SP in which one of the columns is a choice column. Cards for each column get automatically created. Then I select the card originally created for the choice column and proceed to delete all objects in it, as well as all visible properties in the advanced tab (expect for the position, size and color related ones). Then I try to put a new value of the "default" property, "ThisItem.xxx", where "xxx" is a different string column in the same SP list, but I am getting the "Expected Record value" error, even though the form card is completely empty and without any other relevant visible properties, so it should be "vanilla" and not expect any specific data type.

 

So my question is, is there some invisible property that determines the data type the card would expect, which is determined on card creation and we are not able to change it afterwards?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @CleanAndClear ,

    Normally you can "re-purpose" a card, but at times you experience what you have (particularly when you change field types). I suggest you delete the card and create a new one pointing at the new type.
