AutoFilled Fields Not Writing to SP List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I have developed a form in PowerApps, based on an extensive, existing SharePoint List. There is a set of three fields, two of which autofill, based on the user's selection in the first field. (The goal was to ensure a 3-way match of the three fields...in other words, Field 1, called "Program" is a drop-down; there are corresponding entries for Field 2, called "LOB" and Field 3, called "State." Each combination of three is unique amongst the possible 18 options within the Field 1 dropdown.) For Field 1, Items reads, "Sort(Distinct('AHVM LOB Fields',Program),Value) and OnChange reads, "Set(ContactVAR,LookUp('AHVM LOB Fields',Program = DD_Program.Selected.Value)) NOTE: My data source for this piece is an Excel table called AVHM LOB Fields. The Default for Field 2 is ContactVar.LOB; the Default for Field 3 is ContactVar.State. When I create a new record, everything makes its way perfectly to the SharePoint list EXCEPT the contents of Fields 2 and 3. I am newer to PowerApps and have tried bits of all sorts of hopeful solutions to no avail. Any guidance would be very much appreciated!

    Check that the Update property of the DataCards for the fields not getting submitted match the content that needs to go to SharePoint. Sounds like this is your issue
