ComboBox Display in Data Table as object Object

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 45

Greetings, 

A bit of a new person to PowerApps, and this is hopefully a simple issue to fix:

I've created 2 comboBoxs with my office 365 User's as a data source "Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm:ComboBox2.SearchText,top:999}).value"

 

i want to use this box to allow a user to search for a user, select them, then click a button to send that displayname to a data table. I eventually want to send the data in that table as an email, but i'm not quite that far in the app building process yet. 

 

The issue I've run into is that when they click the button the output that shows up in the data table is [object Object]. 

Here is the data that I've entered into the "onselect" area for the button:

Collect(
col_coverage,
{
Needs_coverage: ComboBox2,
Covered_by: ComboBox3
}
);
Reset(ComboBox2);
Reset(ComboBox3)

 

I just can't seem to find a solution to this. Can anyone with more knowledge assist me please?

    Hi @koechsle,

     

    If you just want to save the DisplayName use ComboBox2.Selected.DisplayName and ComboBox3.Selected.DisplayName. Currently you are saving the actual combobox control to those fields - hence the Object reference.

     

    (The Reset functions will still only reference the combobox, those are fine 😊)

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

    Thanks!
