Hi

I'm facing the following scenario, while trying to patch a column using the following formula:

I'm Using Combo box new text data with save button...

Patch(
Tablek2,
galleryGrid.Selected,
{'MALE ROW': {Value: 'MALE ROW'.SearchText,
'@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference"}})

 

The application is showing the error message: The specified column is ready only and can't be modified

    Hi,
    Instead of using MALE ROW'.SearchText you will have to use MALE ROW'.Selected.Value 
    But if you want to add new values to the dropdown, then you will have select "Allow fill in choices" in column settings of the dropdown filed in sharepoint.  If you will enable this option, then you can use searchtext in your formula

    It's already selected "Allow fill in Choices"
