Editable Dropdown connected to Sharepoint List but not letting me choose options

Hi Guys, 

 

I'm building a power app for a Skills Matrix, I've created one new list for the screen I'm working on. This is called 'Employee', the columns contained in this list are 'Title' (person's name), 'Job Role', 'Data Protection' (Y/N), and a couple of test columns 'System Overview' and 'System Admin' these are both choice columns with values 0-5. 

 

I'm unsure if I've set this up correctly but I basically want an editable form that can re-write to update those lists in SharePoint. I started by dragging in a vertical gallery to my screen and inserted a text input and dropdown but I'm getting confused with how it's meant to work. 

 

I want the Text Input to have the name of the column in e.g. 'System Overview' and then the dropdown to let them choose the value of their understanding '0-5'. It needs to be editable as each person will be going into the app to change their understanding of each item and then this will update the sharepoint list. Will I need to create a new list for Employee which has their name and job title, then a separate list for the different areas and understandings? If so, then how do I relate these to one another? 

 

Can someone please help me?
