Patch a person field using a multi select combo box

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by la09 90

Hi,

 

I am trying to patch a person field using a combo box where multiple people can be selected.

 

The items of the combobox is Distinct(colRC, Approver.DisplayName) as it needs to populate only certain people, hence the use of the collection which includes all the possible options to select.

 

The Patch forumla I am trying to use is:

Patch(
Form_1,
gal_RC_myrequests.Selected,
{ResourcingContact: cmb_RC.SelectedItems})

 

However I am getting the following error:

'The type of this argument 'ResourcingContact' does not match the expected type 'Record'. Found type Table.

 

Any ideas?

    Distinct(colRC, Approver.DisplayName)

     

    replace this by Distinct(colRC, Approver)

    i am guessing approver and resourcecontact is person column with multiselection.
