Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

I have a dropdown which displays a list of value. My requirement is to if the user is not satisfied with listed item they should be able to add a new item to list in the dropdown itself.

The flow goes as below.

At initial stage, The form will be in view mode which displays the galley selected corresponding value.

User as two more options, edit and add. When either 2 is selected user will be able to see the form in edit mode where it allows for changes.

At this point of time the form changes to dropdown and display all the values from data source. Here I need to add a new value if required in dropdown and should get reflected in sharepoint to

I tried with combo box, I am not able to see any value on that on view mode it shows empty.

Need some guidance to achieve the above task.

Thanks in advanced

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your form mode?

Do you want to add a custom value to dropdown control?

Normally, if the user selected in the Gallery to navigate to a View Form, the edit option icon should make your form change into the Edit Form and the add option icon should make your form change into the New Form which is a totally blank form.

I assume that if you want update a record, once you click the edit option icon, it should make the form change into the Edit Form, here is steps for your reference:

1). Set the edit option icon OnSelect property as below:

EditForm(Form1)

2). Set the data card corresponding to the dropdown control Update property as below:

If(!IsBlank(ComboBox1.SearchText),ComboBox1.SearchText, ComboBox1.Selected.Value)
