Condition for Update property

New to this, and this is probably simple, but I can't figure it out.

I am building a simple form from a Sharepoint list. I want Datacard4 Update property to be

equal to Label5 text, if selected value in dropdown DataCardValue7 is "A"
but equal to Label5_1 text, if selected value in dropdown DataCardValue7 is "B"
or else empty

I have tried this on DataCard4 Update property. There is no error, it just doesn't do anything.

If(DataCardValue7.Selected.Value="A";Label5.Text;DataCardValue7.Selected.Value="B";Label5_1.Text;"")

Hi @MM-05080756-0

This should work correctly.

Please double-check that DataCardValue7, Label5, and Label5_1 are correctly referenced and that their values are as expected.

If( DataCardValue7.Selected.Value="A"; Label5.Text; DataCardValue7.Selected.Value="B"; Label5_1.Text; "" )

If the formula doesn't produce the expected result, it likely means that DataCardValue7 does not match "A" or "B", causing the default value to be used.

Hope this helps.

That is correct.

The Update property only works when the forms is submitted so the correct information goes into your datasource.

If you want to see the results of the If function you also need to put it in the Value property of the textinput control.

Hope this give you some clarification.

THank you, Now I understand, and it works.

I will hide DataCard4, so I do not need the value to be visible.

Case closed :)
