Posted on by AlvM

Hello im a Beginner at PowerApps, im building a Form to add Entries to a Sharepoint List. I want a Checkbox that when its checked or unchecked writes the Username and a Timestamp of the Current Date in another Input Element, that is located in another Datacard. From what i can tell i cant work with Variables because there arent unique Variables for each List Entry and it changes the Variable for all Entries? And changing the Text from the Input directly also didnt work, i tried it in the onchange of the Checkbox with:

DataCardValue29.Text = Text(Now(), "[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss") & " " & User().FullName;

Hi @AlvM,

For your checkbox try this on the OnCheck property:
Set(varTimeStampUser, Text(Now(), "[$-en-US]yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss") & " " & User().FullName);

On the UnCheck property:
Set(varTimeStampUser, "");

For the DataCardValue29 Default property:
varTimeStampUser

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.
Thanks,
@AARON_C

Hi @AARON_C , thanks for the answer. My Problem with this is that the variable gets updated for all List Entries in my Sharepoint if i check it in one Entry or when i Add a New one it gets updated for all Entries. So i need to have a unique variable for each List Entry or get it to Update the Input directly without using variables.

can you tell us more about the workflow, the code above should do the trick but I'm not sure what you mean about it changing for all entires?

If you are then adding this to a line in a sharepoint list once you have done some other work after generating the unique code, whatever process you then use to add the line to the list can clear the variable ready for the next line or even generate a new code for you automatically depending on what it is you need to do?
