Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I use the Service Desk Sample app to create a new app. In this new app I am using a SharePoint List for the main data as opposed to a Collection. My problem is, on the Create a Ticket menu. The Create button is not doing anything, I am assuming this is because my fields on the form do to not reference the SharePoint List.

My question is, do I have to re-create the form using the SharePoint List? I do not see any where in the fields where I can have them point to the SharePoint List.

Hi @NaChristian ,

Do you want to use sharepoint list instead of collection as data source in Service Desk Sample app?

If so, you need to make a lot of change on this sample app.

Firstly, please check the columns in TicketsCollect1. You need to create the same columns in your sharepoint list.

Then connect your list with your app.

Secondly, you need to change all the controls and properties about TicketsCollect1, change their data source to your sharepoint list.

For example, in CreatenewticketPage you need to change:

1)textbox1_25,textbox1_26,textbox1_27,textbox1_28,textbox1_29

Text: CountRows(yourlistname) //please replace with your list name

CountRows(Filter(yourlistname,Status="New"))

CountRows(Filter(yourlistname,Status="In progress"))

CountRows(Filter(yourlistname,Status="Closed"))

CountRows(Filter(yourlistname,Status="On hold"))

2)Button1_1's OnSelect:

If(CreatedBy.Text="" || Dropdown_Priority.SelectedText.Priority="Select a priority" ||Dropdown_Area.SelectedText.'Account Name'="Select an area" || Subject.Text="" || Description.Text="",
 UpdateContext({msg_visible:false});UpdateContext({msg_visible:true}),
 Collect(yourlistname,Status,{ID:Text(CountRows(TicketsCollect1)+1),Owner:CreatedBy.Text,AccountName:Dropdown_Area.SelectedText.'Account Name',Priority:Dropdown_Priority.SelectedText.Priority,Subject:Subject.Text,Description:Description.Text,Status:"New", DateCreated:Text(Today())});
 
Navigate(DashboardPage, ScreenTransition.None))

//please replace with your list name

What's more, since all the columns in the original collection are all text type, you'd better set all the columns to text type in your list too. Or else you will need to change your original formulas a lot.

Best regards,
