Assistance with combobox string concatenation.

Hello folks,

I am working with a multiline string data type from Sharepoint.

I have a form with a custom data card of the same type.

I have replaced the dropdown control with a combobox.

I am using a split command to break the string into segments in the 'Items' property of the data card:

Split(LookUp(ConsumerObjectives, MyCaseNumber = var_curCaseNumber).Objective, "***")

My question is, how can I recombine the selected items in the Update property of the form?

I don't think Concat will work here, so that really only leaves Concatenate.

Concatenate(DataCardValue13.SelectedItems., "***")

This returns an error saying something like it expects a text result.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi @isBlank,

Do you want to recombine the selected items with the operator "*"?

Could you please tell me that if how you set the Items of the DataCardValue13 ?(IMPORTANT!)?

In addition, I want to tell you that the LookUp() always returns a record value or a Text value, so I am so confused that why do you want to split the Objective.

Just based on the Concatenate() formula, if you want to recombine the selected item, please modify as below:

Concat(DataCardValue13.SelectedItems,Value,"***")
