Filter Lookup Field Not Saving

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to set a filter on my lookup column on a SharePoint list from the child list name IssyeType. The Parent list is name Support Request. 

 

The formula for the filter is the following:

Filter(IssueType, AT2 = Dropdown1.Selected.Value)

 

The filtering is working, but when I click to save, nothing happens in the lookup field, the Issue Type from the parent list doesn't reflect the dropdown selected.

 

 

I've also updated the Update field to as following 

If(
!IsBlank(IssueType),
(
{
'@odata.type': "Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
Id:Dropdown5.Selected.Title,
Value: 'Support Request'.'Issue Type'}))

 

What should I change to make it work?

 

Thank you

    Hi @Ellaboomin ,

     

    From the code mentioned are you using the Parent list directly in the dropdown which you used of the lookup ?

    Hi @Ellaboomin ,

     

    Could you try with Parent lookup field if possible and update the code as below ? 

    {
    '@odata.type': "Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
    Id:Dropdown5.Selected.Id,
    Value: Dropdown5.Selected.'Issue Type'}))

    Hi @Ellaboomin ,

     

    In that case would you mind looking up value in the Parent list for Value and ID pair of the child patch ?
