Hi,

Im building a form in power apps and I wanted to change a not required field to a required field when I select a specific choice in a choice field in the form.

I want to turn "Data Limite de Pagamento" a required field when my choice field "Tipo de Documento" is equal to "Factura".

I used this formula but is not working...

My choice field Set up:

Can you help me on that?

Hello @FarmaVIP ,

It expects a Boolean value, and you compare Record to Text but try:

If(DataCardValue11.Selected.Value ="Factura",true) it should work

Hope it helps

@SebS

I'm on a mission to eliminate unnecessary If() functions

DataCardValue11.Selected.Value ="Factura" reduces to either true or false so no If() is required.

@SebS
That did not work 😞
I'm using Dataverse as my database.
The "Factura" option is coming from a custom choice column.

And "Factura" has a value of 1
How can I compare them?

OK, I got it 🙂

So why not do it? !(DataCardValue11.Selected.Value ="Factura") instead? Same result no IF 🙂

I'm not sure but in datavers You may face that value actualy is 1 so you can try
!(DataCardValue11.Selected.Value =1) just in case

@FarmaVIP I think the answer you are looking for is setting the required property of your date field to
DataCardValue11.Selected.Value = 'Tipo de Documento'.Factura
where datacard is the name of the dropdown. The Tipo de documento is the display name of your option set in Dataverse and Factura is the selected option (hope I typed them correctly)
