Metadata columns in Power Apps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RN-10011829-0
Hi,
 
I am trying to use a datatable to display a list of items from a SharePoint Online list. The metadata column displays data as [object object]. The text value of this column in the datatable shows an error - expected text value. How do I fix this?
 
Also, how do I update a SharePoint metadata column using a PowerApps customized SharePoint form?
 
Thanks in advance.

    Hi @CU24121443-0​​​​​​​
    These type of columns are historical with SharePoint and were designed well before Power Apps was conceived. There are better options with Power Apps, but if you really need to persist, this video may assist you.
