Change Status when submitted date is selected

Report

Posted on by marshallzart

My Project status is a choice column in Dataverse, when a date in the Permit Submitted Column is selected in the form on Power Apps, I want the status to change to "In Review".

This is my OnSelect formula so far:

Patch('Permit Management','Permit List'.Selected,{})

Permit Management is the name of my Dataverse Table. Permit List is the name of my Gallery in the app.

I tried putting 'Project Status': inside the {} but no matter if I add Choices or Value, it won't accept an input.

I tried;

Patch('Permit Management','Permit List'.Selected,{'Project Status':Value:"In Review"})

as well as

Patch('Permit Management','Permit List'.Selected,{'Project Status':Choices:"In Review"})

but it does not work.

I'm fairly new to this, so it may be a simple fix, just thought I'd ask.

HI @marshallzart

Here I have a table, with a Global choice as a column. Choice is Called DemoChoice and column is called MyChoice and a table called TableA.. Yes I am very good at naming things lol.

Now I want to update it from A to C

Patch(TableAS, LookUp(TableAS, Name = "My Record"), { MyChoice: [@DemoChoice].C });

If you bind a Choice Field to a Combo or Dropdown (single select mind you)

Ill patch it to D using a combo Box

Now my Code

Patch(TableAS, LookUp(TableAS, Name = "My Record"), { MyChoice: Combo1_1.Selected.Value });

And Done

I can't get to work when I try and change it using my custom names. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong. Again, I want to change the Project Status to "In Review" when I select a date in the Permit Submitted field.

Hi @marshallzart

The issue it is showing is your = sign between a Date Comparison and the other side. So can you tell me what the error is there? Its nothing to do with the Option.

However

1. In the first one you typed, you typed [ThisItem.'Project Status'].InReview

What you are doing is trying to use the VALUE of Project status to be the Option Set

Option sets are accessed by using the Global Scoped Format or Local Table Format

so if you look at mine you would have

'Project Status': [@'Project Status'].InReview <=== is essentially a hardcoded value, versus your second one using the Dynamic Value property of a ComboBox.Selected.Value

The [@] Format means, I want to grab the VALUE I am listing from the Option set.

Your second one is perfect because you used the Selected Value and you see its not red because its correct

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

in your error in your image 2, you are trying to compare the NAME of the Date Control toa Date Value

you need to use

Control.SelectedValue = Today()

Not the control name
