Clear Lookup field and set it to a Blank field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by janineb

Good day

 

I have this canvas app (Recognition Awards) where the Approver field is a Lookup field from a Table - it auto fills in the Approver Name and Approver Email.  However, it is prohibited for a Nominator to also be the Approver - in this case we need to clear the lookup field and set it to blank.  The capturer must then be able to Search for another Approver ("Search for Approver" text input field linked to Office365Users datasource)

 

Can you please direct me on how to achieve this?

 

Thank you

    1. What is your data source (SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL etc)
    2. Are the Approver Name and Approval Email fields LookUp data types in your data source? Are you using just using the Lookup function on those Text Input controls?
    3. Please share the formula you're using (in Text) to auto-fill those fields.
