Varying data source (with combobox?)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ConnM 260

Hello

In one SharePoint site I have a list that is a directory of SharePoint sites for projects.

Each of those project sites has a default SharePoint list in their template.

I want to create an app with a form that can write to that list

 

For example, the user picks "Project 10" from the combobox, hits a button that says "Fill Form", and can complete a form for the Project 10 list

 

I don't know if I should be focusing on the site id number or not

 

Thanks very much

    Just as an update it seems nearly impossible to do this dynamically, I thought I had a bit of luck with environment variables but that was a red herring. 

    Solution will just need to be hardcoded

    Hi @ConnM ,

     

    You are correct. In the App, you will need to add as many Edit forms as the lists of sites. All the lists need to add into PowerApps as data sources and use for the DataSource of respective Edit forms.

     

    Best regards,
