    i have added a new "Patch" Button and using this code:

    //use a patch statement to mark the animal as 'Claimed for Adoption'
    Patch(Animals,galAnimals.Selected.'Shelter Status', {'Shelter Status':'Shelter Status'.'Claimed for Adoption'});
     
    but getting this error:

    any help would be much appreciated.

     

    Thank you 🙂

    Patch(
        Animals,galAnimals.Selected, 'Shelter Status' = [@'Shelter Status'].'Ready for Foster' )
     
    not working.
     
    the shelter status is a global choice.
