Edit form with multiple sharepoint lists

Hi everyone

 

I have a form using Sharepoint List A with a dropdown referring another sharepoint list B, when the options are selected, I am only updating sharepoint list A with the value selected on the dropdown. This works no problem

 

My issue starts when I dispay or edit the form. The field is empty but there is a value on sharepoint list A. How do I pull through the value to show when the form mode is edit?  Also the column in sharepoint list A is a single line of text whereas Sharepoint List B is a table with 2 columns(Title and description), which is what you see contatenated in the dropdown. 

 

Should the user try to edit this field they should be able to see the drop down options as well not just the single line of text.

    Hi @Jackoline ,
    Can you please let me know what happens in the form when user selects a value from a dropdown which is linked to List B (Title-Description).
    Are you setting any controls based on selection of dropdown linked to list List B.

    I would suggest to create and column - single line of text in your master list - List A and save value of dropdown (linked to List B) in that column so that in future you can check what value that was selected by user.

    When the user selects the value in the dropdown, it updates the corresponding field in List A.

     

    Column in List A -  "which services do you require?" single line of text

    Options are in list B on the form, the options updates the column in List A.
