Use allowed values drop down for an excel table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 184

Here's my issue I need specific values for an excel table, but if I set the table up with allowed values, then I error out in my app because it thinks that space is already filled.  The issue is I can't pick variables in the drop down to use or I can't figure out how to code them in so users don't have to enter them and can select them.  At any rate I used a seperate table to fill the values in, but I can't get it to update on the same table as where the other information is sitting.  Any suggestions?

    Hi @Salamander94 ,

     

    It seems that this is a data card inside an edit form control. What is the data source of this edit form? Is it the same data source named PO? 

     

    You mentioned that you want to update a column with options of table? Options for dropdown control should be strings not a table. Please explain what is the value you want to use for this dropdown control.

     

    Regards,

    Mona
