view a text item in a column

Posted on by 301

Hi,

 

I have a canvas app that connects to a database that each column is in text, in my canvas app i have built dropdowns that are filled from a collection made in the app, if i want to patch them i have a label that is invisible that displays the value of the dropdown. But how do i edit the value of the item (default gallery.selected.itemiwanttochange) when i select it from the gallery and for correct item to be displayed in the dropdown? ive done this before however i cannot remember how?

 

Cheers

    If the control doing the patch is outside of the gallery:

     

    Patch(table,Lookup(table,ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID),{itemiwanttochange:Textinput1.Text})

     

    If it is inside the gallery

     

    Patch(table,Lookup(table,ThisItem,{itemiwanttochange:Textinput1.Text})

    Sorry im confused>?

     

    Im trying to edit my gallery data that is saved as Text back into a dropdown?

     

    Eg i have a dropdown with the items colItems, i view the itemname but i patch the itemcode

    ClearCollect(
     coltems,
     {
     Id: 0,
     itemcode: "",
     itemname: ""
     },
     {
     Id: 1,
     itemcode: "A1",
     itemname: "TESTNAME"
     },
     {
     Id: 2,
     itemcode: "A2",
     itemname: "TESTNAME2"
     }
     )


    i collect the dropdown to another collection ill call colAll (with many others)

     

    Collect(
     colAll,
     {ListItem:Text(dropdown1.Selected.itemcode))


    ColAll has yet to be patched back to sharepoint which is a text column,

    if i goto the gallery and decide to edit those values i wish to edit them back in a dropdown where i view the itemname again,
