Posted on by Battal

The items in my ComboBox are being fetched from my data source. But how do I allow the user to manually enter an option in my ComboBox? This option should then be saved in my data source. Skærmbillede 2024-03-25 140110.png

Hi @Battal / @Battals

Thanks for the response... I have idea:

Place a button or icon next the combobox
Add the following code in the onSelect property of the button:

Patch(yourSharepointList,Defaults(yourSharepointList),{NameColumn: NameCombobox.SearchText})

Done 🙂 Now the search text will be added to your dropdowlist when the user clicks the button.

Please note that the new "Label" remains in the drop-down list for all users. If you do not want this, you can create a new collection with onVisible from the current screen and set this collection as the data source for the combo box.

I hope this work for you.

King regards
Beny
