PowerApp + Sharepoint Form?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hello Guys! 

 

I am building a power app mainly for sharepoint integration, Sharepoint forms.

 

What I want the App to do is, 

 

For example:

 

Data:

FishFish Description
MonkeyMonkey Description

 

So If the user selects "Fish" from a drop down menu, I want the App or sharepoint to populate the "Description" Field on the same page or the next page with "Fish Description". 

 

The solution I need to create needs to be stored in a easily editable state where in the future if the description changes, anyone can go in and change it accordingly instead of changing the code on powerapp itself.

 

Looking forward to your replies!

    Hi @ZZ2525 ,

    Firstly if you want this to be easily changed, store the data in a reference List exactly as you have in your example.

    To populate the field, you can do this is a couple of ways, depending on what else may happen to the field in future use.

    I will give you the simpler of the methods - make the Default of the other field

    If(
     !IsBlank(YourDropdownName),
     Lookup(
     YourReferenceListName,
     YourDataField = YourDropdownName.Selected.xxxx, //depends on Items of dropdown
     YourDescriptionField
     )
    )
