Multiple Conditional Lists in a dropdown

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Is there a way to have more than one conditional lists in the items property of a dropdown? 

So for example: 

If(Office365Users.MyProfileV2().jobTitle = "Director", 

["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected", "Approved by Assistant"]

Or 

If(Office365Users.MyProfileV2().jobTitle = "Executive Director", 

["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected", "Approved by Director"], 

 

(else) ["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected"]));

 

Whenever I try this I get several errors including "unexpected character" or "invalid argument type". I feel like this should be a possibility and I shouldn't have to create two separate dropdowns that are only visible based on the jobTitle, but if that is the solution then so be it. I may have just been working on this app for so long I could be missing something.

    If I'm understanding your question properly, you have to use nested IF statements.  So it would look like this:

    If(Office365Users.MyProfileV2().jobTitle = "Director",
    ["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected", "Approved by Assistant"],
    If(Office365Users.MyProfileV2().jobTitle = "Executive Director",
    ["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected", "Approved by Director"],
    ["Approved", "Submitted", "Rejected"]));
