Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to type a value for the CATEGORY field (in CreateTicketScreen and EditTicketScreen) within a TextInput control rather than select select value from the Dropdown options?

If you want to type a value for the CATEGORY field (in CreateTicketScreen and EditTicketScreen) within a TextInput control rather than select select value from the Dropdown options, you should remove the Dropdown box from corresponding screens (CreateTicketScreen and EditTicketScreen), and then add a TextInput control for the field.

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Within the CreateTicketScreen:

Remove the Dropdown control for the CATEGORY field, and add a TextInput control (named "CreateTicketScreenCategoryText") for it.
Modify the formula within the OnSelect property of the "CREATE" button as below:

Set(NumberOfTickets,NumberOfTickets + 1);
Patch(TicketList,Defaults(TicketList),{Id:NumberOfTickets,
 Title:CreateTicketScreenTitleText.Text,
 Priority: CreateTicketScreenPriorityDropDown.Selected.Value,
 Author:MyProfile.Mail,
 TaskStatus:"NOT STARTED",
 PercentComplete: "0",
 Created:Now(),
 AssignedTO:"",
 Description:CreateTicketScreenTaskDescription.Text, 
 Editor:MyProfile.Mail,
 Modified:Now(),
 Category:CreateTicketScreenCategoryText.Text }); /* <-- Modify here */
 Reset(CreateTicketScreenTitleText);
 Reset(CreateTicketScreenTaskDescription);
 Reset(CreateTicketScreenCategoryText); /* <-- Modify here */
 Reset(CreateTicketScreenPriorityDropDown);
 Navigate(ConfirmSubmitScreen,None)

Modify the OnSelect property of the "CANCEL" button as below:

Reset(CreateTicketScreenTitleText);
Reset(CreateTicketScreenTaskDescription);
Reset(CreateTicketScreenCategoryText); /* <-- Modify formula here */
Reset(CreateTicketScreenPriorityDropDown);
Navigate(MyTicketsScreen,None)

Modify the OnSelect property of the "Back" icon button as below:

Reset(CreateTicketScreenTitleText);
Reset(CreateTicketScreenTaskDescription);
Reset(CreateTicketScreenCategoryText); /* <-- Modify here */
Reset(CreateTicketScreenPriorityDropDown);
Navigate(MyTicketsScreen,None)

The GIF screenshot as below:

Within the EditTicketScreen (the same as that within CreateTicketScreen):

Remove the Dropdown control for the CATEGORY field, and add a TextInput control (named "EditTicketScreenCategoryText") for it.
Set the Default property of above TextInput control to following formula:

SelectedTicket.Category

Modify the OnSelect property of the "UPDATE" button as below:

If(isAdmin,
 Patch(TicketList,LookUp(TicketList,Id=SelectedTicket.Id),{
 Priority:EditTicketScreenPriorityDropDown.Selected.Value,
 Category:EditTicketScreenCategoryText.Text, /* <-- Modify here */
 TaskStatus:EditTicketScreenStatusDropdown.Selected.Value, 
 PercentComplete:EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider.Value/100,
 AssignedTO:AssignedToUserDisplayName,
 Editor:MyProfile.Mail,
 Modified:Now(),
 Description:EditTicketScreenDescriptionInput.Text
 }),

 Patch(TicketList,LookUp(TicketList,Id = SelectedTicket.Id),{
 Priority:EditTicketScreenPriorityDropDown.Selected.Value,
 Category:EditTicketScreenCategoryText.Text, /* <-- Modify here */
 Editor:MyProfile.Mail,
 Modified:Now(),
 Description:EditTicketScreenDescriptionInput.Text
 }
)); 
Reset(EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider);
Reset(EditTicketScreenStatusDropdown);
Navigate(MyTicketsScreen,None)

Modify the OnSelect property of the "CANCAL" button as below:

Reset(EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider);
Reset(EditTicketScreenStatusDropdown);
Reset(EditTicketScreenDescriptionInput);
Reset(EditTicketScreenPriorityDropDown);
Reset(EditTicketScreenCategoryText); /* <-- Modify here */
Reset(EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider);
Navigate(MyTicketsScreen,None)

Modify the OnSelect property of the "Back" icon button as below:

Reset(EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider);
Reset(EditTicketScreenStatusDropdown);
Reset(EditTicketScreenDescriptionInput);
Reset(EditTicketScreenPriorityDropDown);
Reset(EditTicketScreenCategoryText); /* <-- Modify here */
Reset(EditTicketScreenCompletedSlider);
Back()

Best regards,

Kris
