Combobox with EditForm

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 65

I think there is a bug in the ComboBox component.

When I initiate a new Form based on a SharePoint list, which contains many columns (component in the form), and set "default" value of these elment to value that I would like to set (as a pre-defined form), after submitted the form, I found that most of the components are saved accordingly. Excep the ComboBox, which is a Lookup table referring to another list. 

When setting the "Default", I chose to set the "DefaultSelectedItems" of the ComboBoox instead of the "Default", cause it could display the result in the form. (see attached picture). But when I submit the form, it did not store it into the record. 

I saw similar problem reported.

     Thanks you!

    My problem was solved by settign the DefaultSelectedItems with a "filterd" Choice from the "Item" of that control. . ( See attached. )

    I think this give the correct link to the choice.

     

    You suggested code work with a Patch command. But I am not sure how to put it in a form which as initiated with NewForm command.

    Thanks a lot anyway!

    Hi @MartinSun2000 ,

     

    Would you please explain more about what are the 'Employee 员工' and 'Name' parameters? I suppose that these are the SharePoint list name and the person and group column name. If so, then please try to use below formula instead and have a test:

    {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
     Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|name@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com",
     Department:"",
     DisplayName:"Name Here",
     Email:"Name@xxxxx.onmicrosoft.com",
     JobTitle:"",
     Picture:""
     }

     

    Regards,

    Mona
