Your formula for the Concat is a little off...it should be as follows:

Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, Result & ",")

This will give you a comma separated list of selected items.

I assume your SharePoint column is a text column....if the column is a choice column, then this will not work. If so, then post back and we'll go into that one.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi @bababalush ,
Could you tell me which field do you want to update data with multiple values in the share point list with this combo box?
And what is this field's data type?
Could you show me more settings of your form?
Pictures, formulas all help.

Best regards,

Please verify that the field/Column that your DataCard is based on is the one you mention is a Text column in SharePoint. From the error you are getting, it leads me to believe that the DataCard is working with a different field as the result of the Concat will be a Text string and, if your field is a text column, will work fine with it.

This error means that the DataCard is referencing a field/column that is not a text column, but instead is a table based column such as a Choice, Lookup or other type of Multi-Value column.
