Hello!

So I got this inputbox I want my colleges to be able to input a timestamp like 12:14 and then click "Save", after that I would like it to save that input into a textlabel. See picture below. I'm very new to powerapps and havent been able to solve this.

Insert another Button and OnSelect put: Set(MyTime,Now())

In your TextBox Default put: Text(MyTime,"hh:mm:ss")

Then on the Save button, Patch to your Datasource as follows
Patch(YourTable,Defaults(YourTable),{TimeColumn:Name})

I want my colleges to be able to insert their own timestamp, not "set" the current time.

Also, in this formula:
Patch(YourTable,Defaults(YourTable),{TimeColumn:Name})
What do I insert under "Name" ?

And the "TimeColumn" do I have to make a new column in the sharepoint list with just a textfield?

I really appreciate your help, thanks!

Can you explain "I want my colleges to be able to insert their own timestamp, not "set" the current time."
Do you want them to Manually type the time?
Because with what i did, when the click they the button, it will capture the time into the textbox. If you want them to manually enter the time, then you only need the Patch.

Patch(YourTable,Defaults(YourTable),{TimeColumn:TextBox1.Text})

And the "TimeColumn" do I have to make a new column in the sharepoint list with just a textfield?

The column name TimeColumn is just a sample i gave. Replace TimeColumn with where you want to save it to in your Table
Also ensure you use the actual name of your table. Also change TextBox1.Text to the name of the actual textbox on the screen

Yes, I tried this but it wont work. I got no error on the formula, but I get an error when its trying to do the patch, its warning about a validation on another field I got? I'm trying to embed this into an gallery with several items. I want to be able to change just that field on selected gallery item.

Then go to SharePoint list and make the uncheck the mandatory Field. This will make the field not required for you to Patch.

But this is another field, its not the the field i'm trying to patch? The field i'm trying to patch it "KontaktaTekniker2" and that field is not mandatory.

Hello again,

This is my setup:

KontaktaTekniker2 is the sharepoint list column I created, its a Single row of text column.
Timestamp is an TextInput field in PowerApps i've created.
Button2_1 have this formula now, I got no error with this but what I input into the Timestamp wont show up in the column "KontaktaTekniker2".
Patch('Logg';LookUp('Logg';ID=Blank());{'KontaktaTekniker2':Timestamp})
