My cmbx "Combobox4" value isn't saving.

Tree view

DefaultSelectedItems = ThisItem.OutputPort

ItemDisplayText = ThisItem.Value

Items = Choices('Originating Device Checklist'.OutputPort)

SPO list col name OutputPort

Col Type : Choice

--------------------------------------------------------

Update = DataCardValue18.Selected

-------------------------------------------------------

EditIconButton values

OnSelect = UpdateContext({ editMode: true, selectedRecord: RecordsGallery1_3.Selected })

Tree View

Any recommendations is appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi @S S,

The issue is in the Update property. For a SharePoint Choice column, the combobox needs to pass a choice record with a Value property, not just the Selected item directly.

Change the DataCard Update property to:
Combobox4.Selected
Instead of DataCardValue18.Selected the Update property should reference the combobox directly, not another control.

Also check the DefaultSelectedItems. For a Choice column it should be:
{Value: ThisItem.OutputPort.Value}

Or:

ThisItem.OutputPort
if OutputPort is a single-select choice column.

If you're in edit mode using a variable (editMode) rather than a standard form, make sure your Patch or SubmitForm is passing the selected value correctly. If using

Patch directly, the syntax for a choice column is:
{OutputPort: {Value: Combobox4.Selected.Value}}

Best regards,

Valantis

DefaultSelectedItems should be Parent.Default instead of ThisItem.OutputPort.
