I am trying to create a data entry app. where part of it is entering the employee details. I want it to work in a way that if I put the employee number, the name, manager and cluster will auto-populate based on the sharepoint list I have connected on the app. How can I do this? Also, how can I make so that the name, manager and cluster cannot be edited as well and the only entry field will be the employee number? Thanks in advance

    HI @mao247 , The DisplayMode of control for name, manager and cluster can be 

     

    DisplayMode.Disabled

     

    The default property of Name control:

     

    LookUp(SPLISTNAME, employeenumbercolumnName = employeenumbercontrolname.Text).Name

     

    The default property of manager control:

     

    LookUp(SPLISTNAME, employeenumbercolumnName = employeenumbercontrolname.Text).manager

     

    The default property of cluster control:

     

    LookUp(SPLISTNAME, employeenumbercolumnName = employeenumbercontrolname.Text).cluster 

     

     

    If this does not resolve then please elaborate the column type and name.
