Hi,

 

Can you help, i have a created a customize form connected to a SharePoint List.

 

Now, I have a Config Plant (Dropdown Selection), and I set it up as multiple selection. In my power app, I can select multiple but the problem is I encountered error in Default property

I guess, this is the reason why the data I have selected doesn't reflect in my sharepoint list. 

 

Kindly help. Thank you.

    Hi @jaina

     

    How did you manage your workaround using the dropdown with multiple selection? I am currently having the exact same problem with "thisItem.Field" that gives me an error.

    Hi @rizkyaditya @v-albai-msft ,

     

    This is okay now. I just add new combo box field and it works fine now in power apps.

     

    Just wondering why power apps did not capture the changes made with the previous field. Actually, the initial field is not a combobox but rather a dropdown field. I just change it to combo box in sharepoint list. I removed the datacard and re-add it to capture changes in power apps but failed. 

     

    So, i just created a new field (combo box), its just that this is not a best solution since there are data already in the previous field.

    So does on my side, nothing shows any error.

    Maybe the suggestion from Allen can be your solution @jaina .

    Hi @jaina ,

    Have you done any custom settings for this DataCard or for this combo box inside your app?

    All your settings appear to be correct, and these formula are all gengrated by default(seems that there is no any custom setting).

    I did a test on my side with all the configurations you provided(except column name), everything works fine on my side when submitting a new list item with multiple selections. So I would suggest you remove this DataCard and re-add this column again for your SharePointForm1(this is the default name for the SharePoint customize form), check if you can submit list items successfully this time.

    Hi @jaina ,

    Are you editing Default property on combo box or on its DataCard?

    If you want to set a default value for combo box, just put code into DefaultSelectedItems property of this combo box, no need to edit Default property of this combo box, you can leave it blank.

    Besides, since your combo box allows multiple selections, check if the Update property of your DataCard is set to formula like below(.SelectedItems returns a table, .Selected returns a record😞

    DataCardValue.SelectedItems

    Have you set the Update property of your datacard to this ? :

    yourComboBoxName.SelectedItems
