    Hey all

     

     

    When you add a field in the Browsescreen you do:

    ThisItem.<Field>.Value

    This should clear your error

     

    Kind regards

    I have the exact same issue but it won't let me add <Field>

    Hey @racheljgood119

    What I mean with <Field> is your own field to fill in like e.g. ThisItem.Description.Value.

    If this is not what you mean please give me some more details on your issue.

    Kind regards

    Hey,

     

    I fixed it doing this: <Entity>.<lookupfield>.<PrimaryId>

     

    Regards!

    My data source for my PowerApp is a SharePoint List where I have a column with a lookup information type. Basically when you fill out my form on the SharePoint list, you choose the name of a student from a lookup function and that fills other fields with information from a different list on the site.

     

    On the app, I want to display the student name on the browse screen, which would normally be ThisItem.Student_x0020_Name BUT when I select Student_x0020_Name from the option, I am told that "the property expects Text values, but this rule produces incompatible Record values"

     

    I don't understand why the lookup values don't register as text. They are text. There are no calculated fields in the SharePoint List.

    I cannot get the text field to display lookup data....I am super frustrated. I will give you my phone number if you can call me about this. I really need help.
