Dataverse app dropdown selections

Posted on by Night_wi

Hello, I'm developing an application that utilizes Dataverse tables. Within my application, I have two dropdown lists whose data is sourced from another Dataverse table. Each column in these dropdown lists has properties of type Text. My objective is for when the user presses a button, the selections made in each dropdown list are saved in the corresponding columns of my main Dataverse table, which is named 'project.' Currently, I'm working with the following formula:

Project;
Defaults(Project);
{
Store: store_.Selected.Value,
Route: route_.Selected.Value
}

Hi, @Night_wi

The patch statement would be this, if that is the question, or issue, sorry can you specify?

Patch(Project, Defaults(Project), { Store: store_.SelectedText, Route: route_.SelectedText } )

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

Cheers

I want that, when selecting a value from the dropdown list, the selections are saved in each of the columns using 'patch'. However, I still have issues with the arguments. Both the table from the dropdown list's source column and the 'project' are of text type.

"The type of this cr5cd_store argument does not match the expected type "Text". Found type "Record""

A few things

1. Can you show me the error itself, show me what CODE is actually red. I do not see a RED on the code I gave you in the photo. So please find the code that is underlined in Red and show me that on the Button
2. What is the name of each dropdown box?
3. What are the names of the Columns?
4. Are these Dropdowns or ComboBoxes
5. Please show me the Items properties of the dropdowns
6. I cannot see the last ) in the code I gave you if you can just make sure its there

I assure you, that in a dropdown DropdownControlName.SelectedText is how you get the text. So there is something you aren't telling me or showing me.

Please show me the actual fields in the Dataverse Table, I'd like to see the configuration.
