Combobox will not save to SP list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 125

I am slowly loosing my mind because this is something so simple that randomly stopped working and I can't correct no matter how much I've tried. I have an application that is connected to an SP list. In this app, you can make a request and after submitting it, you can go to "Your submitted requests" page and view the form again that you just submitted and make changes if need be. Every field on the form uses a data card. The ones that I am having problems with weren't saving in the fields or to the SP list and I thought it was because I supplied custom items instead of using the choices from the SP list (I did this because certain items are dependent upon other selections).  I then tried keeping the custom item choices that I supplied in the combobox and changed the SP field to single line of text but that also didn't work. I keep checking and rechecking all the properties and changing them many times... HELP please!

 

By some miracle, the "Build Location" works and I customized the items property of that to be: 

 

If(
DataCardValue3.Selected.Value = "Cloud",
[
"Cloud (Azure)",
"Cloud (AWS)",
"Cloud (Oracle)"
],
DataCardValue3.Selected.Value = "SaaS",
["SaaS (no build)"],
DataCardValue3.Selected.Value = "OnPrem",
[
"Ashburn, VA",
"Atlanta, GA",
"Charlotte, NC",
"Chicago, IL",
"Cleveland, OH",
"Commerce, GA",
"Dallas, TX",
"Denver, CO",
"Ephrata, PA",
"Greenville, SC",
"Lexington, KY",
"Lexington, NC",
"Lincoln, NE",
"Little Rock, AR",
"Los Angeles, CA",
"Miami, FL",
"New York, NY",
"Salt Lake, UT",
"San Jose, CA",
"Seattle, WA",
"State College, PA"
],
Choices([@'Application OnBoarding'].'Build Location(s)')
)

    In the Datacard, check the DataField property. What value if any do you have in those Datacards that are not saving back to SharePoint?

    the data field in all of them is the field name from the SP list that you retrieve from the end of the URL.

    For Comboboxes you have to use the SelectedItems property in the Update property of the Datacard, this returns an array  but you can enclose it in the First() expression as follows First(MyCombobox.SelectedItems).Value to retrieve the first value.

     

    Check my syntax as I'm writing this response from what I remember on my phone.

     

    In summary, when using a combobox use SelectedItems and when using a dropdown use Selected.
