Data not saving to SharePoint table from Combo box

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Good Afternoon everyone,

 

I've ran into an error that i can relay use some help on.  I have a Combo box (ComboBox1) that lists the Title of a SharePoint List (tblAssociateTeam) where all the titles are.  The Editform that this combo box resides on is connected to another SharePoint list (tblSafety).  I want the value of the combobox to be recorded on the tblSafety.Leader_Nm field on the SharePoint. Everything i have tried has not worked when setting the Update on the datacard to the combobox field.   I have tried setting the datacards Update field to ComboBox.Text / ComboBox1.Selected / ComboBox1.Selected.value but all 3 do not work.  i will list some print screens to help better illustrate my issue.  any help is much appreciated.

 

Here is what i have that feeds the combobox:

ComboBox1 Items = SortByColumns(Filter(tblAssociateTeam,Department="ASSISTANT MGRS"),"Title")

    What is the data type of 'Leader_Nm' field?

    If Leader_Nm field is a Text, please try this:

     

    ComboBox1.Selected.Title

     

    If not, please share more details.

    I'm sorry but that did not work.

     

    Yes, it is a text field from the SharePoint list.  I will attach screen shots of the SharePoint list to help.  Also, attached are screen shots of the DataCard Advanced propertys and the ComboBox Advanced propertys.

    @cage4000 

    The first letter of 'Title' should be capitalized, could you please try again?

    Hi @cage4000 ,

    If the solution you need is as my first post (and thank you @v-siky-msft for the help), you might consider accepting mine as the solution.

    A capital did the trick, thank you.   Now it is giving me the "An entry is required or has an invalid Value error" when i try to submit the form.  do you know why it is saying this when i try to submit the record?  Please see attached.

    I had to delete out the Leader_Nm and replace it with a new column and that did the trick..  its ready to go.  Thank you all for your help with this.
