Add comments on each selected item of Choice field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jorge_

Hi,

I do have a Choice field in SharePoint and I have a requirement to being able to enter a comment on each selected item in a Canvas app.

I've included the Choice field as multiple selection, then I do have a text field that shows selected items and where comments can be entered on each selected item.

Default of Text field is: Concat(DataCardValue39.SelectedItems,Value&": ",Char(10))

 

This works fine, however there is an scenario, where if I do enter comments as above and then add or remove any item on the choice list, all the comments entered previously are removed.

 

Any advice on how to best accomplish this requirement?

Thanks

    Hi @Jorge ,

    If you want to keep adding comments, make the Default (I am assuming your field name here)

    With(
 {wExist: ThisItem.'Software Requirements'),
 wExist & Char(10) & 
 Concat(
 DataCardValue39.SelectedItems,
 Value & ": " & Char(10)
 )
)

    @Jorge I tried this and looks like this works

     

    On your On change property of your dropdown field add this code

     

    Set(HipposAreAwesome,Concat(DataCardValue39.SelectedItems,Value &":",Char(10)))

     

    and set the default property of your text field to HipposAreAwesome

    Thanks Warren, I see you have comments at the top, however I do enter comments besides each selection, maybe that's why is not working for me?

    Hello, it's not working either.

    My problem is that comments are removed from other selected items.

    @Jorge ,

    You simply enter the comments before you save - the next selection will then go underneath

    Thanks Warren, but it wont work as selection can be removed also, that's when it gets tricky.

     

    Not sure now of any good way of doing that

    Hi @Jorge ,

    I am not entirely clear on your problem here - but if you save each one with the comments before you select the next group, it should work ?

    Hi Warren,

     

    it does work adding new selected items.

    But it doesn't when a selected item is unselected.

     

    Thank you
