Disable button based on dropdown

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MichaelBL 58

Hi

 

I am trying to do something as simple as setting a button displaymode to disabled, if a certain value is selected in a dropdown field.

This is what I am trying:

 

If(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value = "[value]", DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

 

But for some reason it won't work. It seems the "=" is the issue, but I dont get why?

 

Any ideas?

    Hi @MichaelBL ,

    Do you have number values in dropdown items ?

    Can you show us here the error ?

    Hi @gabibalaban ,

     

    I am not using number values. The dropdown contains text values. 

     

    The error looks like this:

    But how does it make sense, that you have to use numbers, if you make a dropdown that does uses text values instead?

     

    EDIT:
    I was able to figure it out. The solution was this:
    If(IsMatch(Concat(DataCardValue9.SelectedItems, Value & ""), "[DropDownValue]"), DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

Under review
