Help an idiot with a simple SharePoint list & PowerApps form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Greetings, I have a very simple SharePoint list that I am trying to build and modify using PowerApps.

 

I am at the initial stages of building it, and am stuck!

 

I know very little about using PowerApps, and have even less of an understanding of the concepts behind it.

 

I have attached a screenshot of my issue.

 

I am trying to update the Title field with some data filled out by the user 'adding a new list item'.

As you can see, when I open the list item, I can see the Title as I want: Submitted by someone.

(This is just a test Title)

But on the list view, the name does not come through.

If I 'Edit all' and then 'Save', the list updates.

 

I am not sure how to make the change show up on the list when a user clicks Save (the default Save button).

 

Title field

Update: Concatenate(Text(DataCardValue2),"-",Text(DataCardValue6.Selected.DisplayName))

 

Help!

    Hi,

     

    I know this is an old thread, just trying to resolve some of the older items.

     

    I would have it set up with:

    Default:

    Concatenate( Text(DataCardValue2), "-", Text(DataCardValue6.Selected.DisplayName) )

    and then have the Update reference the actual value of the item set from this above formula.

     

    Unless you found a better way to resolve it?

     

    Cheers,

    Sancho
