how to automatically populate text label fields in canvas apps based on one dropdown.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 20

The current function I have for my drop down named (Casetype_5) is:

ForAll(Distinct(‘MMM Creation Grid’, ‘Reason for Creating MMM item’), {Result: This Record.Value}) 

 

then the text label I am trying to automatically populate is Casetype_5.Selected.MMMCategory1 

 

this is not working so how what do I need to put in the text label.

In my share point list the title column is supposed to be drop-down (Casetype_5) seems to be working but I can’t get the other text labels to populate. 

also MMMCategory1 is the 2nd section (top name row) of my sharepoint list which is what I am trying to get to populate. 

I also have other text labels too that aren’t working like MMMCategory2 & MMMCategory3. That I need help with also.

    Hi @Newuser79 ,

    The output of a control with the Items

    ForAll(
     Distinct(
     ‘MMM Creation Grid’, 
     ‘Reason for Creating MMM item’
     ), 
     {Result: This Record.Value}
    ) 

    is

    Casetype_5.Selected.Result

    You could change it to

    Distinct(
     ‘MMM Creation Grid’, 
     ‘Reason for Creating MMM item’
    )

    and it would then be

    Casetype_5.Selected.Value
