Hello!
I have a dropdown field that I want to delete and put in a textbox that will auto populate the user. I'm able to auto populate the user. My problem is, when I delete the dropdown field I get an error on the datacard update. What do I need to input here to ensure that the list item will get updated with what is in the textbox?
You would need to replace this with a reference to your new textbox control. This would be something like the following:
YourTextbox.Text
Thank you for the quick response @timl !
That's what I thought and tried that but get "Expected Record Value" error. I can provide screenshots if needed.
Thank you!
You're welcome @Anonymous!
What data source are you using and what's the data type of the field that you're trying to update?
@timl , the dropdown field is coming from a sharepoint list and the data type is Complex. I hope I answered what you are needing.
@Anonymous - what exactly is the complex field that you're working with - a choice column, lookup column, person/group, or something else?
Choice column
@Anonymous - if you set the update property of your card to a formula in the following format, that should hopefully solve the problem.
LookUp(Choices([@YourSharePointList].YourSPChoiceColumn), Value=txtYourTextBox.Text )
I was over thinking it. I just made the choice field a single line of text in SharePoint.
