Posted on by 117

Hello,

 

There are 2 different sql tables connected to the application.
I have "name" column for record in table "a".
In the "b" table, there is a list where I can select people. column name is "person name".

 

The person names in the "b" table come to the application with droodpwn.

 

I want to save the person names I selected in table B with the dropdown menu in the name column of table A in name colunm.

 

Name:dropdown.selected.name

not working. What can I do.

 

Regards,

    Hi @koray1,

    Do you want to save the selected person name from table b to name column in table a?

    Could you please tell me:

    1). if both of the name column are text type or varchar?

    2). how you save the dropdown selected name, within a form or a single save button?

     

    If you have a form connected to the table a and you set the dropdown as tableb.personname, you should modify your Update formula as below:

    dropdown.Selected.PersonName

    If you have a single save button to save the selected person name, you should write the Patch as below:

    Patch(TableA,Defaults(TableA),{Name:dropdown.Selected.PersonName})
