Business Card Scanner Company Name Issue

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm super new to PowerApps so please bear with me. I'm trying to get the business card scanner up and running, and so far everything works well after following the guide except one: Company Name. I added the company name data card, and set the Default value to BusinessCardReader1.CompanyName as I had done for every other data card. This time however, I get the following error:

"The property on this control expects polymorphic values. The rule produces Text values which are incompatible."

I have no idea what that means or how to resolve the issue.

Edit: Sorry about the poor original post I've added some pictures below to make things easier to troubleshoot.

Here's an update to my relatively bad post. This is what I've done, and the result. On each data card above it the Default value was simply supposed to be BusinessCardReader1.DataYouWantFromCard. So for example, if I wanted the person's cell phone number the Default value would be BusinessCardReader1.MobilePhone. Company name appears to be the only one that doesn't fit that pattern.

Error message in context.

I also tried adding a text label.

I solved my own issue, but I will leave this here for anyone else who needs it later. I was using a label where I should have been using a text input! If you follow the guide, there's no mention of this.
