Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi Community,

 

I have a choice column from SP list named "Status".

Now, if the value in the status column is "Inactive"- i would like to make the column "Inactive Date" as required.

I know i have to change the required property but do not not how to reference it based on the value of choice column "Status" value of "Inactive". Please suggest!

    Hi Community,

    Sorry for the trouble!

    I figured out rather quickly- this is doable by setting the required property to 

    If(DataCardValue7.Selected.Value="Inactive",true,false)

     

    Thanks
