I have a Sharepoint list that I created with 2 Text Fields, that I turned into cascading drop downs in Powerapps. This works fine, however whenever I fill out the form, the data from these two drop downs do not save to Sharepoint. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out.
More information is needed. How are you saving the data? Are you using the standard SubmitForm or are you writing a patch statement?
If you are writing a patch please provide the statement for review.
Yes I'm using SubmitForm
Look at the update field on the card Screentype.selected.value.
Dont use value. If the data point you are saving has a name it should be something like dropdownname.selected.nameofvalue.
Also...for the card...to use Screentype.selected.value...If you are trying to save .value. Then you need to used Screentype.SelectedText.value
Every time I try to change the formula it keeps coming back with an error.
What is the name of the value you are trying to retrieve. Lets say for example you are retrieve a variable name "widget". For .selectedText need the name of the variable. So SreenType.SelectedText.Widget.
If you are using .Selected then you only need to use ScreenType.Selected.value.
This is a very good resource for you. Check this out.
I think this is what you're looking for. (see below) I found a video online to make these cascading drop downs from another Sharepoint List - and everything worked, but this data won't go back to the sharepoint list I made this form for.
