Posted on by 136
In power apps in one of the Form's card i have a combobox and when i change the items in the combobox the Update property of the card switch to error
 
In the initial situation ( correct one) it was:
Combobox (inside the card):
Items:     Choices('Action (IMACD_Transactions)')
In the card:
Update : DataCardValue71.Selected.Value
 
After changing the Items:
Combobox (inside the card):
Items:["Leaver","Joiner","Mover"]
In the card:
Update : DataCardValue71.Selected.Value
 
Why I get error in the Update after changing the items?

    You cannot switch to using a list if you still have the column set as Dataverse Choice.

    It is always very good to mention your data source in your initial post. I will leave this to others as I do not use Dataverse.

    I assume you are using SharePoint here (you have not stated your Data Source type) - if the Items of the single choice Combo Box DataCardValue71 is 
    ["Leaver", "Joiner", "Mover"]
    and you are writing back to a single value Choice field Action then the Update of the Data Card can be either
    DataCardValue71.Selected
    or
    {Value: DataCardValue71.Selected.Value}
    and the DefaultSelectedItems of DataCardValue71 would be 
    ThisItem.Action
    or
    {Value: ThisItem.Action.Value}

    You did not answer the questions I asked - I need this information to try to understand what the issue may be.
    What is the field name and type you are accessing here and is it single or multiple value ?
    Also that does not appear to be a valid Choices syntax as per my previous comment.

    In this syntex : 
    Choices('Action (IMACD_Transactions)')
    Action is the field name and it works without any errors 
    but when i change it to :
    ["Leaver","Joiner","Mover"]
    then i get error in the Update syntex: 
    DataCardValue71.Selected.Value 
     
    while DataCardValue71 in the combobox name that i changed it's items

    Just to clarify
    ["Leaver","Joiner","Mover"]
    certainly returns an output of .Value, however you seem to be missing a field in this
     Choices('Action (IMACD_Transactions)')
    as the syntax is Choices(ListName.FieldName). What is the field name and type you are accessing here and is it single or multiple value ?

    If you are using Choices columns modify your selections in your data source not in the form.
