Rename the values of a combobox and patch

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CTR1 21

Hi,

can anyone please help ?

 

I have a SharePoint list (List1), with a choice field (Duration) containing 3 values: 6,12,longer

 

In my Power Apps, I have added a combobox with the items populated by the SP Choice field - Items formula = Choices(List1.Duration)

 

Instead of displaying 6,12 and longer in my combobox, I want to display "6 months", "12 months" and "Longer".

 

Then after selecting a value, I want the original value to be patched to my SharePoint Column.

 

How can I achieve this please ?

 

Thanks for your help

Christophe

    You can definately do that, but have you considered just changing the name of the choices in your SharePoint List?

    Hi @RogierE,

    changing the choices is the SharePoint list is not an option.

    Okay, just checking. If you would want to stick to the setup in the SharePiont list, what you could do is change the Items property of your Dropdown to 

    AddColumns(Choices(List1.Duration),"description",If(Value="longer",Value,Value&" months"))
    Now the Items are a two-columned Table with the short description as Value column and a long description as description column. The two things you need to change after that is to switch the Value property to description, and make sure you are using the Dropdown.Selected.Value in the code where you store your selection back to the SharePoint list.
