Combox box letting me select but not save a choice.

Hi

 

I create a new List every year with a customized form using a canvas power app. The settings are generally the same. This year I have a data card with a combo box that has a list of choices. I can choose one but it doesn't save onto the list, even when I refresh and clear cache and cookies. I have another similar combo box which is only working intermittently. There are no errors on the app. I added the data card again without deleting the first one and it worked. Then I swapped the new data card for the original one and it doesn't work again. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached an image of the properties for the data card.

    I just think it is a bug with the form. when I add the data card again at the bottom of my form it works, but if I remove the one with the issue and replace it with the new one it stops working again. But thanks for trying to help.

    Hi @NandiniBhagya20 

     

    Yes that's right. Should I change it to 'DataCardValue35.SelectedItems' would that work? Or do you have another suggestion?

    Hi @KatT ,
    DataCardValue35 is the name of combobox control?
    Update property is responsible for updating/saving the column data to Sharepoint list.

    Hi @NandiniBhagya20 

     

    Thanks for replying. The DataCard Update property is: 'DataCardValue35.Selected' is there an issue with this?

     

    Thanks

    Hi @KatT ,
    Check Update property of Datacard where combobox is placed.
