Help on Data Card Update Properties to fix my Patch function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello I'm pretty new to Power Apps and I would like to ask why does the Update property of the votedPresident card need a .value

 

 

presidentDropdown.SelectedText.Value

 

 

while on the votedVicePresident card it seemingly doesn't need it.

 

 

vicePresidentDropdown.SelectedText

 

 

It seems that I'm getting a "Network error when using patch function" because of this difference.

 

Both have dropdowns connected to a SharePoint list but the only difference I know between the two is that the votedPresident card is auto generated when I created the form while I added the votedVicePresident card as a custom field.

    @BiggyBo ,

    It depends on the field type you are Patching to. If a Choice field you only need

    vicePresidentDropdown.Selected

    as you are send a Table (the Combo Box output) to a Table (the Choice field) - technically the Patch is actually

    {Value: vicePresidentDropdown.Selected.Value}

    a Text field is expecting Text, which is

    vicePresidentDropdown.Selected.Value
