I am building the canvas app for the power apps challenge , and I was doing well until trying to update the Animal_Shelter Status I get an error I cant seem to get by this is my formula in my save button:

Patch(

'Foster Families',

Defaults('Foster Families'),

{

Foster_ID: Foster_ID_DataCard1.Default,

'Foster_Claimer Name': DataCardValue_ClaimerName.Default,

'Foster_Join Date': Today(),

'Foster_Local Shelter': SelectedShelter_name,

Foster_Location: Foster_Location_DataCard2.Default

}

);

// Provide feedback to the user

Notify("Foster family record saved successfully!", NotificationType.Success);

Patch(

Animals,

LookUp(Animals, Animal_ID = Animal_ID),

{

'Animal_Shelter Status': Value(3), // this is where I cant update this value to choice 3 label in foster home

'Animal_Current Location': SelectedShelter_ID,

'Animal_Foster Claimer': Foster_ID_DataCard1.Default

}

);

// Provide user feedback

Notify("Foster animal record updated successfully!", NotificationType.Success);

this is the errror I am getting:

The type of this argument 'jcfph_shelterstatus' does not match the expected type 'OptionSetValue (Animal_Shelter Status (Animals))'

these are the ways I have tried to set that value:

'Animal_Shelter Status': { Value: 3 },

'Animal_Shelter Status': 3,

Animal_Shelter_Status: "In Foster Home",

I get in all the same expected type optionsetvalue

I tried this :

'Animal_Shelter Status': LookUp(Choices(Animals.'Animal_Shelter Status'), Value = 3),

same error:

The type of this argument 'jcfph_shelterstatus' does not match the expected type 'OptionSetValue (Animal_Shelter Status (Animals))'. Found type 'Record'.

I think this is the correct syntax:

'Animal_Shelter Status': 'Animal_Shelter Status (Animals)' .'In Foster Home',

You are getting this error because you can not fill a Animal_Shelter Status with just a value.

You code should look like:

Patch( Animals, LookUp(Animals, Animal_ID = Animal_ID), { 'Animal_Shelter Status': 'Animal_Shelter Status (Animals)'.'In Foster Home' //remove 'In Foster Home' and set the dot to set the real value 'Animal_Current Location': SelectedShelter_ID, 'Animal_Foster Claimer': Foster_ID_DataCard1.Default } );

This will solve the problem.
