I have a share point list with column Company as lookup (this column is looking into another share point list called companies and pointing to Title).

Below is the code I have written in Power apps patch function.

I have tried

Company:cmbCompany.Selected.Value
Company:cmbCompany.Selected.Text
Company:cmbCompany.SelectedItems

and many other combinations.

Set the value to Allow nulls in list setting for this column.

Here are the properties of combox box used

Companies List

This is where I am expecting the data to be saved into Waiver List page

Hi PC-13080023-0,

You have changed the Items of your Combo Box from the standard Choices(ListName.FieldName) - Lookup columns will cause you more grief than this (I have never used them with Power Apps), but assuming that this is a single choice Combo Box, the Patch would be something like
Patch( Waivers, Defaults(Waivers), { Company: { Value: cmbCompany.Selected.Title, Id: LookUp( Companies, Title = cmbCompany.Selected.Title ).ID } } )

Please click Does this answer your question if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it a Like.
