Hint text change based on dropdown selection

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to change the hint text based on a drop down selection.

I have a form with a drop down field (named querytype) that has 3 options. New request, amendment request, report an error. Later in the form I have a detailed description field. I want the hint text in this field to change depending on whether they choose new request, amendment request and report an error.

I have tried doing this with If (querytypevalue.selected.value=xxxx) but it just keeps throwing back an error.

I am not particularly experienced in PowerApps and I am still in a learning mode.

Please can someone help?

Thanks

Chris

Hi @chris_scott

I recreated your use case and it is working for me:

HintText property:

If( querytypevalue.Selected.Value="New request", "New request", querytypevalue.Selected.Value="amendment request", "amendment request", querytypevalue.Selected.Value="report an error", "report an error" )

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Thank you so much! Works perfectly. I also feel great because I was almost there, my syntax was slightly off. PowerApps are driving me nuts today.
