Posted on by indhaa

I have two Choice DropDown from SharePoint List in my Powerapp form.

So if DropDown 1 select the value "Apple" I would like DropDown Default value to be 'fruit'.

I'm getting a syntax error.

I tried to create as below on Default and also on DefaultSelectedItems too but still not been able to correct this. Pls let me know how to set for dropdown box for Form

If(DataCardValue30.Selected.Value="Apple","fruit",Parent.Default)

If you have a DefaultSelectedItems property then you are dealing with a ComboBox, not a Dropdown.

That said, on a Combobox, you must provide a record or a table (depending on the multiselect option). That record must match the schema of the Items property records.

What is your Items property for the Combobox?

No worries. As mentioned, the combobox needs a record to match from the DefaultSelectedItems to the Items.

So, in your case, on the DefaultSelectedItems you will want this formula:

If(DataCardValue30.Selected.Value="Apple", {Value: "fruit"}, Parent.Default )

The Choices function you are using in the Items returns a Table with a single column called Value. SO, in order to match anything, you need to provide a record with a single column called Value.

The above formula will do that.
