Hey guys, below is my current design:

Green section is a View Form, Pink section is a Gallery, Blue section is a New Form.

Green Section is attached to data source 1.

Pink and Blue section is attached to data source 2

I have a lookup field in data source 2 that links to the ID of items in data source 1

Essentially, the blue and pink section works as a comment system and these 'comments' are stored in a separate list but referenced via the ID of the item from data source 1.

The send icon will submit the form in the blue section. I am trying to set the default selected item for the blue section to be the ID from the green section however cant seem to get it to work.

I tried the following:

on the Default Selected Item property = [DataCardValue14.Text]

or [Text(DataCardValue14)]

with DataCardValue14 being the label that shows the ID for the green section (however I have set the visible property to false)

This wont register as a value when submitted to the list?

Could I please have some help? Im not sure why it isnt working.

Cheers, Amber

Hi @Amber_L ,

I did a demo for you.

1\ This is my list LIST136. It is similar to your data source 1.

2\ This is my list LIST137. It is similar to your data source 2.

Set the datacard's Update property to:

{Id:DataCardValue2.Text}

Set the datacard's Visible property to:

false

3\ The result is as follows:

I have managed to get this to work by just removing the lookup column and setting it as a number column and setting the default value to be that of the ID from data source 1. This works for what I am needing so will use this instead. Thanks for your help anyway!
