Saving ListBox values to individual columns in SQL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SumoTechSimon 78

I have a SQL table: RMA2

There are 5 columns in my SQL database: AwPartDetail1, AwPartDetail2, AwPartDetail3, AwPartDetail4, AwPartDetail5

 

Using a ListBox, "ListBox2" to select multiple values, anywhere from 1 to 5 selections (it is random each time) from a Common Data Service table "Inventories".

 

I want these values to save to the individual columns AwPartDetail1, AwPartDetail2, AwPartDetail3, AwPartDetail4, AwPartDetail5.

 

Having tried the ClearCollect and Patch functions I am at a lost as I can't seem to get the syntax right.....HELP!!!!

    Hi @SumoTechSimon 

    I know that this doesn't answer your question about the list box but I would have approached the problem in a different way.  I would have put 5 comboboxes with Items property for parts and would patch them to a table individually.  When I was satisfied that the order was complete.  I would reset comboboxes.  In the example below, I used an excel table to store the data.  I used a variable called "seed" to find the last order ID and increment it by one. The first Combobox writes the new row by using the Defaults() element and assigns the ID number.  The subsequent comboboxes use that ID to fill the rest of the fields. _5.png
