Hello,
Maybe someone can tell me what am I doing wrong here? I am trying to patch a form into table in dataverse but it shows me an error from my title.
'Part' is a text lookup but in my form it is: Distinct('CORR infos', Part).Result It is looking at other table and returning distinct part numbers in dropdown box.
The Distinct function will give you a table with unique values, in this case part.According to your error description, the part column is expecting a Record value due to the Look Up type.However you are currently referring to the distinct result of type String.
I don't know your database structure but this could be fixed by referencing the respective record via a LookUp:
LookUp(PartsTable, Part = YourDataCard.Selected.Result)
With this function we do expect that 'Part' is unique to each record in the look up table.
I hope this helps.

If you are using a form, why are you using patch instead of just SubmitForm()? If you delete the title field and add it back, what does the update property of the card show?
Hi,
If I use SubmitFrom() then I have the following error when I choose one of the options in my dropdown box:
