Posted on by 66

Hi guys,

 

This is my situation, i have this gallery where I pull some data from a sharepoint list but then I have a custom textinput inside the gallery where the user have to type some info that I'm asking them

 

How can I create a collection only with this info? I should be something like this.

 

Thanks

    Create collection means,  do you want to create local collection if so what all columns?

    Or do you want to write the text ip column in sharepoint list?

    If so use patch function

    Hi @CP0822 ,

    Do you want to create a collection with all entered values in Textinput control?

    If yes, you can try this method. See my example, set OnChange property of first Textinput control to:

    ClearCollect(collection1,Gallery1.AllItems.TextInput1)

    Hi Allen,

     

    I tried your solution but I'm getting the collection like this.

     

    How can I get only the value in the textinput without creating a table record?

    Hi,

     

    I want to create a local collection and then when all the text inputs are filled patch this info in mi SP list.

     

    Any ideas?

    Hi @CP0822 ,

    You can try this formula:

    Collect(collection1,TextInput1.Text)

    You can also save the Title of each record:

    Collect(collection1,{Title:ThisItem.Title,Value:TextInput1.Text})

    Hi @v-albai-msft 

     

    Where do you suggest I should set this formula? In the "On change" of the TextInput?

     

    Many thanks.

    Hi @CP0822 ,

    Yes, just put the code into the OnChange property of the first TextInput control.

    Then based on your requirement, clear this collection after patch into SP list.

    Best regards,

    Allen
