Posted on by lras1202

Hi,

I have dropdown A, dropdown B and a toggle button. I need to have dropdown B selected value same as dropdown A when the toggle button is clicked.

On Default dropdown B: If(togglebutton.Value,dropdownA.Selected.Value, ThisItem.OwnerGender)

On Items dropdown B: Choices(sharepoint list.OwnerGender)

I got "The function "If" has invalid arguements".

Thanks for helping.

Hi, @v-bofeng-msft ,

Both DropdownA and Dropdown B are dropdowns, all not allowing multiselect.

Your Case1 is the solution! It works!

Thanks again for helping.

Hi @lras1202 :
Could you tell me:
What are dropdown A and dropdown B?Combo box or Drop down control?
Does OwnerGender allow multiple selections?
Does dropdown B allow mutiple selections?(If it is a combo box)
What is dropdown A 's Item property?
Case1:I assume dropdown B is a DropDown control(do not allow multiple selections) and OwnerGender do not allow multiple selections.
Please try:
On Items dropdown B:
Choices(sharepoint list.OwnerGender)
On Default dropdown B:
If(togglebutton.Value,dropdownA.Selected.Value, ThisItem.OwnerGender.Value)
Case2:I assume dropdown B is a Combo box control(do not allow multiple selections) and OwnerGender do not allow multiple selections.
Please try:
On Items dropdown B:
Choices(sharepoint list.OwnerGender)
On DefaultSelectedItems dropdown B:
If(togglebutton.Value,LookUp(Choices(sharepoint list.OwnerGender),Value=dropdownA.Selected.Value), ThisItem.OwnerGender)
Best Regards,
Bof

Not in the gallery, just on the Edit form.

Tried your formula, still getting "Expected record value"

Are the dropdown inside a Gallery?

You can try a variable:
OnSelect of the dropdown;
Set(VarSelected,dropdownA.Selected.Value)

Then in DropdownB
If(togglebutton.Value,VarSelected)
Or
If(togglebutton.Value,VarSelected.Value)

Same "Expected record value", actually dropdownA.selected.ownergender is not a valid selection, only Value.

If(togglebutton.Value,dropdown.Selected.Value, ThisItem.OwnerGender) ThisItem.OwnerGender is what needs to be when the toggle button is not selected.
