Drop down with textbox

Hi ,

 

I have a DataCard in my PowerApps form.

Inside My DataCard I have added a dropdown and text input

if the user didn't select anything from dropdown, I want the text input should be visible where he can manually write what he is looking for and update the same in the DataCard value. 

 

Basically, this is the functionality which Iam looking for my PowerApps form.

 

could anyone please let know the steps which I should take on this?

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio 

     

    Try this formula,

     

    Set the Visible property of TextInput1 to change based on whether an item is selected in Dropdown1

    IsBlank(Dropdown1.Selected.Value)

    Set the Update property of the DataCard

     

    If(
    IsBlank(Dropdown1.Selected.Value),
    TextInput1.Text,
    Dropdown1.Selected.Value
    )

     

    Thanks!
