Add to Sharepoint list Text field but not Update HELP!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

I am new to PowerApps and learning as i go!

 

I am creating a Sharepoint list with a notes field ( multi line text)

I would like the user to add to this "notes" field but not replace the text.

They will also be able to see the read only version below.

 

Can someone tell me how to update a text field but not replace;

 

i have tried using the form itself, but i now have a text field with the below string;

 

Patch('Record Cards', Gallery1_2.Selected , {Notes:TextInput3.Text})

 

This all works as expected now, but i cannot seem to retain the previous text as it just replaces

Any help would be appreciated.
