Hi,

I have a powerapps form that has text input boxes and comboboxes for users to fill and submit. This updates a list on sharepoint. The comboboxes also populate the choices from the sharepoint list.

The combobox name is DataCardValue40. The patch formula does not let me write 'Business Line':Table(DataCardValue40.SelectedItems) and throws an error. If I write 'Business Line':Table(DataCardValue40.Selected), it accepts but then it only updates the first selection my SP list. Business Line is the Column which I want updated with the selection of choices.

Need help to fix this.

Is your column in SharePoint set to allow multiple selections?

Hi @Anonymous ,'

You are Patching a number of values to a multiple value Choice field, which is a table, so the syntax for this field should be as below

'Business Line': ForAll( DataCardValue40.SelectedItems As aBL, {Value: aBL.Value} )

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you tell me:
Do you have a button control in the edit form?
Do you use the pathc() function to submit records?

If my assumptions are correct, the point is that the formula requires data of table data type.
When you use the selected property of the combo box control, it selects the first option among all the options. The data type of this option is a record. So use the table() function to convert the record type to the table type.
However, when you use the selectedItems property of the combo box control , It selects the options you selected. Its data type is table already. Therefore, there is no need to use the table() function to convert it.

You could try the following code:
Patch(LIST33,Defaults(LIST33),{Title:"1",'Business Line':DataCardValue40.SelectedItems}) // LIST33 Is my list name.

Best Regards,
Wearsky
