Can't get button to update text input

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello All,

 

 

I'm having an issue attempting to set the text of a text input field to a text value. In this cast Rejected. 

 

My set current Configuration . . . 

 

Screen property OnVisible - Set(COIStatusVar, Blank())

 

Button property OnSelect - Set(COIStetusVar,"Rejected")

 

Text Input Property Default - COIStatusVar

 

I have no errors, yet when I click the button, nothing happens.

 

I can't tell where I going wrong.

Any advice would be great!

    I just saw the Syntax error, I have corrected it, It Updated the text input field, but I tried another button that is to set the field to 'Accepted" and it would not let me. I have double check ed the syntax.

    In the OnSelect property of your buttons 

    Set(varP,"Approved")

    Set(varP,"Rejected")

    Set(varP,"Something Else")

    and in the Default of the text box: varP

    and in the OnVisible of the screen: Set(varP,Blank())
