Viewing Completed Forms Choice Field "Status" does not update

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

This is probably an easy fix. I created a SharePoint Integrated form with a status field to provide the status of the form which goes through an approval process. I am using the drop-down to display the status which I see all the choices using this formula: Choices([@'SPList'].Status)

When I open a completed form to check the status of the form the choice status field never updates based on the real status of the form. The SharePoint list column does display the correct information but the form does not. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    What do you have for the Default control for the dropdown or status field? I suspect you need to configure that to the following based on what you said;

    SPList.Status

    I have nothing in the Default control. I will try that.

    Added that to the default but still, it's not updating the status per each form that has already been submitted.

    Sorry, I was in a hurry before and didn't catch this. I'm assuming you are selecting that form from a gallery? If so, you'll need to change the Default control to ThisItem.Status

    No, I am not using a gallery. This is a data card within a SharePointForm I am trying to update.

    My assumption is you used the wrong Default control. It must be the Status_DataCard# Default control, NOT the DataCardValue##. I just created a test form and it uses ThisItem.Status

    Figured out the issue. One was the list having a default selection on the choice column. I took away the default selection in the list thinking this cleared it but it didn't clear and I was still getting errors. I then checked the properties on the form field in Power Apps Advanced and noticed the DefaultSelectedItems were set. Cleared it and it started working after a publish and a few refreshes. I took this over from another developer and been a tough walk through the weeds. Thank you for your help!

    Glad you got it resolved! 

     

    Regarding having to refresh a few times, I've noticed this as well. The longer I have a window open working on an app, the worse it gets as far as things showing an error when they shouldn't. Save, close editor, close the browser, let it sit a few minutes, and try again and everything magically works again. I think it's a cache issue with making all these changes over a long browser session.
