I'm looking to use a Variable as the base record with a patch function. Is this possible

Scenario example:

Global Variable - VarApproverLevel

VarApproverLevel = "Level1"

Patch code

Patch(Projects,

LookUp(

Projects, ID = VarGoToItem), { VarApproverLevel: "Test"}))

I cant get this to work. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

hey @Bolas

because we do not really know much about your existing code this might only be a direction for u to modify:

If( VarApproverLevel = "Level1", Patch(Projects, LookUp(Projects, ID = VarGoToItem), { Level1: "Test"}), VarApproverLevel = "Level2", Patch(Projects, LookUp(Projects, ID = VarGoToItem), { Level2: "Test"}), // You can add more conditions here for other levels Patch(Projects, LookUp(Projects, ID = VarGoToItem), { /* Default case or error handling */ }) )

Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

Greetings
