I can only save the selection from my dropdown fields. But if I enter a new word in the dropdown field, which is not in the dropdown field selection, this is not saved. can someone tell me what the cause is?
@Crichan ,
That is the way a Combo Box or Drop-down works - that value must be selected to save. There is a way of doing it with a Combo Box - NOTE I have used .Value here as the selected item - it may be a field name depending on the Items of the Combo Box. The Update of the Data Card can be
Coalesce( ComboboxName.Selected.Value, ComboboxName.SearchText )

Hello, at first thank you. But it doesn't work.
I'll explain it a little differently.
I have a combo box in a form. This has access to a sharepoint list and you can select different words.
Is there a way that I can also save new words that are not in the list?
Please see revised code. It should do what you are asking.
