Updating sharepoint list from power app dropdown

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm trying to update a sharepoint list via a PowerApp using a lookup from another sharepoint list. I have a feeling this is incredibly simple, but I cannot work it out!

 

I have pulled in the main data list, the lookup list and also created a dropdown that displays the lookup list fields I want to use.

 

However, when I submit, it doesn't update the master list.

 

Could someone help?

    Hi Henry,

     

    Thanks for this I've actually figured a way to do it simply from the original sharepoint list, without needing to create fancy lookups to secondary lists! Much simpler phew! thanks for the response however, much appreciated.
