Hi,

I am not using a gallery when i try to do this, I'm trying to keep it simple for this form.

when a new item is added to the list an e-mail is sent to the user to approve it. So i have added an approve button to the form.

but you cant user it unless the form is in edit mode as i had to sit in form to get it to work

and this works

Patch(
Listname,
ThisItem,
{'Form Status': {Value: "Approved"}})

but i want this button outside the form to update the Status field with out it been in edit mode. but it does not work

I have tried this but it does not work

Patch(
'Listname',
LookUp('Listname'),{Status:{Value:"Yes"}});SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);

any help would be great.

Hi @help3

I checked your code and your second patch is missing something in the LookUp.

Patch( 'Listname', LookUp('Listname'), // <-- your lookUp needs a record to Patch but has a whole datasource now {Status:{Value:"Yes"}} ); SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);

So it would like this:

Patch( 'Listname', LookUp('Listname', ID = SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.ID), // <-- looking for a specific record {Status:{Value:"Yes"}}) )

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Hi @help3 ,
you can try this
Patch( ListName, LookUp(ListName, ID = SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.ID), {Status: {Value: "Approved"}} );
If this resolves your issue, mark the solution and leave a thumbs up. Thank you! 😊

Hi

The formula was accepted but when you click the button nothing happens, the value in the in the Status column does not change, and also i don't get an error message its weird.
