Dropdown Values not saving in Dataverse table

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Everyone,

I am creating an powerapp screen with dropdowns and text fields. My goal is to integrate ChatGPT with the app using API Key, based on the query I request it, get response in JSON format from the ChatGPT, parse the JSON in the app and fill the screen using the extracted Values.

After integrating ChatGPT, I am able to fill the extracted values in text fields directly.

For Dropdowns, I need to compare if the extracted value is in the Items of the dropdown. If exists, I will select the dropdown value using 'DefaultSelectedItems' with below formula:

If(BoolVariableFoundInJSON And FormName.Mode = FormMode.New, [VariableDataExtractedFromJSON], [Parent.Default])

Based on value 'BoolVariableFoundInJSON', I am able to set the dropdown value to 'VariableDataExtractedFromJSON' or 'Parent.Default'

Once the value is set, I am saving the app data to a Dataverse table, here the dropown values are not storing to the table when automatically filled. The values are saved when I select manually.

Can anyone please suggest me the solution for this.

Regards,

Kalyan

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try and change your formula:

If(BoolVariableFoundInJSON And FormName.Mode = FormMode.New, Filter(Choices(Table.ChoicesColumn), Value in [VariableDataExtractedFromJSON]), [Parent.Default])

Choices(Table.ChoicesColumn) is also in Items of the Combo box.

Best regards,

Hi Jeffer,

This has helped me a lot. Now I am able to save the data of normal dropdowns to dataverse table.

In the same form I am using 2 lookup choice fields from other tables, I have to do the same task for them as well.

I tried below formula in defaultselectedItems as below but it is not working.

If(
BoolCampaignFound And LeadDeatilsform.Mode = FormMode.New,
{Campaign: LookUp(Campaigns, Text(Value) in [VarCampaign]).'Campaign Name'},
{Campaign: [Parent.Default]}
)

Can you please help me in this case as well.

Thanks in advance,
Kalyan

Hi @Anonymous ,

If it's a LookUp column but only allows single selection, use below formula DefaultSelectedItems:

If( BoolCampaignFound And LeadDeatilsform.Mode = FormMode.New, LookUp(Campaigns, 'Campaign Name' = VarCampaign), Parent.Default )
