Help with updating Sharepoint List with a LIstBox

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

To start, I RARELY use Powerapps so I am a total newbie.

We are creating a Powerapp to update a Sharepoint list. For several of the fields, they wanted me to have them as dropdowns and populate from other sharepoint lists. For example, BrandSelection would be populated from Sharepoint list Brand.

They then decided they wanted to be able to pick multiple selections. I have read up that you can't do that from a drop down, so I have changed it to a ListBox.

What do I put in the Update box?

For dropdowns, I have put ListBox2.SelectedItems.Brand. It is not liking that.

You've almost got it! Use this shorter code instead.

ListBox2.SelectedItems

I would actually use a ComboBox instead here. ComboBoxes look like dropdowns but they CAN store multiple values. It should solve your problem.

by default, the dropdown column(radio, checkbox) in sharepoint list is bound to comboBox control in powerapp.

just use default comboBox, or it will cost a lot, it's quite complex to bind sharepoint dropdown value(mutiple selection) to other controls.
