Pass value from selection box to global variable

Posted on by StaceyGriffeth

I have a selection box in a form and am trying to pass the selected value to a global variable. I have a submit button which submits the form. The first step in OnSubmit is to pass the select box value to the variable. What I have is:

Set(varNewOffboardingName, OffboardingNameSelectBox.SelectedItems.Name);

With the cursor positioned after "Name", it is showing that the data type is table. I think this is why it is not passing the value to the variable. But I'm struggle to find the solution.

Hi @StaceyGriffeth ,

Your current formula is passing a single column table to the variable.

For example.

What does "Not pass" refers to? Is it the fact that when you click on a variable, the value is displayed as blank? Or the variable cannot be displayed on a control?

Best regards,

Hi @v-mengmli-msft This selection box presents a list of names from a sharepoint list. The selected name is what should be captured in the variable. What I say it isn't passing to the variable, I mean that it is not setting the variable's value. I checked this by adding a text label and setting the variable as the value.

@v-mengmli-msft I got it to work by using Selected instead of SelectedItems
