Help Getting Dropdown Lists to Function In SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 36

Hi, I had to recreate a SharePoint list in a new location. I was able to move the data over by exporting the list as an Excel sheet and then importing the data in a new location. However, in the original list, there were some choice columns that I couldn't initially recreate when importing the data in the new SharePoint list. Instead, I had to import the data and then change the columns to choice columns and add the options in. When I started creating the form in Power Apps for the new SharePoint list, I added some dropdown lists in there and linked the items to the choices in the column on SharePoint. This works in Power Apps as when I play the app I can choose between options. When I go back to the SharePoint list and create a new entry/edit an entry, however, I can choose an option from the dropdown list but the option I've chosen won't save when I click 'save'. 

 

I am a complete beginner when it comes to Power Apps so I am really stuck here.
