Portals - CDS Lookup data is not saving

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sienna28 514

I added a lookup field to my entity.

 

I entered form data and chose the lookup field and added in the value.

 

I then clicked submit and exported the data to Excel.

 

Neither the field name or data were shown in Excel.

 

Please help

    Are you exporting a view/grid? Then that view should have a column added of that lookup on that grid itself. Then, you can export in excel.

    Hi @sienna28 ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    How do you submit data back to your CDS Entity? Using PowerApps form?

     

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. If you use PowerApps form to submit your data back to your CDS Entity, please consider re-generate a new app based on your CDS Entity, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    In addition, please also consider go to your PowerApps Web Portal (https://make.powerapps.com), then go to "Data" -> "Entities", find your CDS Entity, then click "Data" tab, check if the LookUp field is populated with proper values:5.JPG

     

    Please take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,
