Drop down wont record selected value when form is submitted

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

When I submitt a form the selection that I chose on my drop down doesn't show up on the list the form is linked to. I suspect the Update box on the drop down data card  needs to be addressed. When I enter "DropDownX.Selected" I get the error of "The property expects Text values. but this rule produces incompatible Record values".

    The Selected property of the dropdown control returns a record with the selected item. Try updating the Update property to

    DropdownX.Selected.Value

    The actual property name (after the 'Selected.') may be different depending on the value of the Items property of your dropdown. When you type the '.' after Selected, you should see in the intellisense the possible values that you can choose.
