I am trying to get its value using Javascript

var acpStatus = formContext.getAttribute("wti_acp").getValue();

But it is throwing error.

formContext.getAttribute is not a function

Can someone please help

if you are actualy using 'var acpStatus = ' to set your variable then that wont work. You will need to use UpdateContext or Set depending what type of variable you need. (UC = local var, Set = global var). Here is how to do this using the yes/no value of the first item in a SPList called Test for example:
UpdateContext({acpStatus: First(Test).YesNoColumn}) -> Local var only visible to that screen
or
Set(acpStatus, First(Test).YesNoColumn) -> Global var visible to entire app on any screen

Example using a lookup:
UpdateContext({acpStatus: LookUp(Test, Name = Dropdown1.Selected.Value).YesNoColumn})

Hello @mmollet
My question is on model driven application and customisation using Javascript.
formContext and other variables refer to JavaScript and not canvas app variable declaration.

Highly appreciate the time taken to reply.

Thanks.

Hi @jaya80980 .
It looks like your error is about you're trying to invoke a method of a not defined object (formContext) because the method cannot been found.
i think you should check you have correctly initializated the 'formcontext' object with a similar sentence:

function yourMethod(executionContext) {
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
.....
Then you can invoke the formContext object and its methods. The parameter should be the name of the field.

Remember that you should set the check about PASS THE CONTEXT to the method in the event handler at Power Apps Studio.
