Hi ,I have a dataverse table named EmployeeData with column Employee Full Name (Primary key coulmn ) along with many other columns displayed in gallery below, I have another column "Comment"(multiline text column )

I want to add a text input in the above gallery against each record/line item so that whatever the text/comment if i write in that textbox for a particular employee record it should be stored in the Comments column.

What function do i need to write so that it saves data typed in all textinput boxes for those particular records and stores in dataverse table column(Comments)

Hi @Nida_Sayedi,

In case you want to instantly save the data after typing and exiting the Text Input you can use the OnChange property.

(1) Add a TextInput control to your gallery

(2) In the OnChange of that TextInput write:

Patch( EmployeeData, ThisItem, {Comment: Self.Text} )

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!

Hi @Nida_Sayedi, Try this, after adding a textinput control which will hold the comments for reach record, add another control may be button with display property as Save. The OnSelect of that would be:
Patch(DATASOURCE, ThisItem, {Comments: TextInput.Text})

I hope this helps.
