- We are using the new forms and objects. Not classic

- We are connecting to Office 365 and we use this in a combobox. This works great.

- We then need to write this back to the Sharepoint list but it's not working. I'm trying the patch function based on my searches.

SharePoint List name = 'Testing'

SharePoint Column Name = AdditionalCC

Datacard Name - AdditionalCC

I am so lost in how to get this to work. I assume I put the code in the "Update" property of the value cared.

Help!

Office 465 writing back to SharePoint List

Hi @brandimore

Please post (in Text) the code in the Items of the Combo Box and the Update of the data card. Also is that the Data Card or Combo Box name ? Either way, you will need to rename it as it cannot be the same as the field name.

Office 465 writing back to SharePoint List

Hi brandimore,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.

You're on the right track with using the Patch function.

Here's how you can update the SharePoint list with the selected value from your combobox:

Set the Update Property: You are correct that you need to set the Update property of the DataCard. This property should be set to the value selected in your combobox.

Patch Function: Use the Patch function to update the SharePoint list. The Patch function allows you to modify or create records in a data source.

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Set the Update Property of the DataCard:

Go to the DataCard for the AdditionalCC field.

Set the Update property to the value of the combobox. For example:

Combobox.Selected.Value

Use the Patch Function:

In the OnSelect property of the button (or wherever you want to trigger the update), use the Patch function to update the SharePoint list. Here’s an example:

Patch(
'Testing',
Defaults('Testing'),
{
AdditionalCC: Combobox.Selected.Value
}
)

This code will create a new item in the 'Testing' list with the value from the combobox.

If you want to update an existing item, you need to specify the item to update. For example:

Patch(
'Testing',
LookUp('Testing', ID = ThisItem.ID),
{
AdditionalCC: Combobox.Selected.Value
}
)
This will update the item in the 'Testing' list where the ID matches the current item.
