Posted on by leenie74

I have a form, with multiple dropdowns, I have a button to select the language of the application. The form populates from a gallary.

varLang is set at app onstart to "en-ca", when you select the button , it changes the varLang to "fr-ca".

All my drop downs have items coded with

If( varLang="en-ca", [items],[french items})

I have the defaults set to ThisItem.datacardname,

When I hit the button to change the language, The dropdowns change, but don't read the sharepoint list they are defaulting to the items and are not saving.

What am i missing

DropDowns resetting when change language variable

My form loads in english, the fields are all populated. If select the drop down on top to change the language of my application to french, which sets my varLang to french this is what my form looks like.

Drop downs are now blank, the form is in view mode. Combo boxs are however fine. This only started occurring last week.

DropDowns resetting when change language variable

Hi,

You are not giving enough information

You said

All my drop downs have items coded with

If( varLang="en-ca", [items],[french items})

When do you change the varLang???? You don't say

Do you have code in the OnChange of the dropdowns?

You also said

The dropdowns change, but don't read the sharepoint list they are defaulting to the items and are not saving.

I do not understand this, use pictures and examples. The sentence itself doesn't make sense. They are defaulting to items....

Do you mean from your If(varLang code statement???

I see you said in the AppOnstart you set the varLang but you aren't saying where you update it, or the code.

Hi

You have ended the French items with a squiggly bracket - If( varLang="en-ca", [items],[french items}). I think its a typo.

Can you share some pictures please.

That will be helpful.

Kind regards,

Nandit
