Hello,
I'm fairly new to PowerApps. I've created a PowerApps Sharepoint form to add items to a SP list. It is designed to collect information related to projects that are being managed in Project Pro and Project Online. The form updates the list properly if the project name is typed into a 'project name' field. But now I want to provide a dropdown selection list for 'project name' that gets pulled from Project Online. I connected to Project Online datasource and used 'ProjectOnline.ListProjects' to pull the list in and that works well. However, now when I use that list and field and create a new record for the SP list it won't save it and gives an error message that a necessary field is either empty or is invalid. I think I am close, so this problem is maddening. Can anyone help me understand how to fix this problem?
You need a project name field in Your SharePoint list. The Update property of the datacard should be Dropdown1.Selected.Value
Thanks for the quick reply. I had tried to use 'dropdown1.selected.value but it did not like that; gave me the red x. I tried it again based on your suggestion, ignoring the red x, but I got the same error message when trying to save. So instead I used what I thought was the most likely option from the options provided, which turned out to be 'dropdown1.Selected.Name. No error messages, but of course that is giving me the error when I try to save. I do have a field in SP list called Project Name. The field I am pulling from Project is just called Name.
The process I went through was to delete the datavalue element from the Project Name datacard and replace it with a dropdown control which takes the name dropdown1. This is how Shane Young's video suggested doing it, and seems consistent with your post that references dropdown1.
This turned out to be a fairly easy, if somewhat obscure, fix. Instead of using ***.selected.value it took ****.SelectedText.Value.
Thanks for your help.
