Combobox Choices not submitting to SP list field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 728

Hi

 

I have a form which has a combobox on it.  You can select multiple items from this.  But when the form is submitted, the column is empty and not saving what choices were selected.

 

The SP List field is a lookup column.

 

On the form, the 'Items' property of the combobox is:

 

Sort(Distinct(Filter(LDR_ListofEquip,Title=DataCardValue6.Selected.Value),Equipment),Result)

 

The update property of the datacard is:

 

DataCardValue38.SelectedItems

 

Is there a reason why the choices are not saving or is there something i can add to the formulas to make it happen?

 

thanks

    Hi, 

     

    The update property should look something like this:

     

    {
    Id: LookUp('LDR_ListofEquip', Equipment' = DataCardValue38.Selected.Value, ID),
    Value:DataCardValue38.Selected.Value
    }

     

    I think it 's having trouble looking for the ID and Value number. I had this same issue. Hopefully this helps.

    Hi

     

    Almost there i think. had to adjust the formula you provided @npeterq :

     

    {

    Id:LookUp(LDR_ListofEquip,Equipment=DataCardValue38.Selected.Result, ID),Value:DataCardValue38.Selected.Result

    }

     

    It now saves one item that has been selected.  But it doesn't save all.  I suspect i need to put a forall into this formula?

     

    Are you able to advise how i would do this?

     

    thanks

    Hi @neill_long,

    Yes, you need a ForAll() to loop through the selected items from the Combo Box:

    ForAll(DataCardValue38.SelectedItems,{ 
     Id: LookUp(LDR_ListofEquip,Equipment=Result, ID), 
     Value: Result
     }
