Patch in Gallery Clears Combo Choice Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

I've seen quite a few posts about this, but can't find the right answer.  Doing a simple patch after a choice is selected from a combobox inside a gallery.  Upon saving, the selected choice is cleared from the gallery.  

 

Ignore the columns in my screenshot that are inside the red box, I was trying to troubleshoot and maybe use a text label to store the selected request status.  I saw a suggestion out there that I could leverage a text label to keep the selected value in the combox after saving.   

 

Items formula for choice field = Choices(HHR_FMLAQuestions.'Request Status')

 

Patch(

HHR_FMLAQuestions,

LookUp(HHR_FMLAQuestions, RequestNumber = ReqNum.Text),

{
'Request Status': CmbReqStatus.Selected.Value
}
);

Set(varStatus, ReqNum.Text);

Notify("Request Status: " & varStatus); NotificationType.Success

 

 

Thank you so much for your help.

    Thank you mmmbr1606.   It doesn't like the formula Parent.Default.   I attached a screenshot of the error.

    I don't know if this will create any problems, but I set the DefaultSelectItems to [ThisItem.'Request Status'] and it seems to be holding the value.  I'm going to republish to see if I run into any issues.
