Let's back up just a little. You said good stuff at first (described wonderfully) then you said
I have no idea of how to do the filter. What I’ve done is ;
I am going to skip everything else you said because it gets confusing and detracts from what I think you want.
You want to filter your Get Items to only grab all lines in the Sharepoint list that contain the Task Name selected in the power app
what I do not know is what is the name of the column, or the data type of the column that has this task name.
But what you want to do is this
1. Make sure your Trigger is the V2 power app trigger NOT the V1 (which I think you used)
2. In the trigger add a Property (string) and call it TaskName
3. in your Get Items, click on Advanced so you can see the filter section
What you will notice is the following
I typed FieldName, this is because I do not know what you called the Column in SharePoint
If its TRULY called Task Name then put [Task Name] since there is a space
then type eq (for equal)
then put '' single quotes
Click in between the single quotes so the popup window appears
You will see the TaskName property I had you create
Click it
and not in between the two ''
and done
Now it will fitler properly Assuming you put the right FieldName in
:-)
If this helps please Mark my answer as such and maybe a like.
P.S. But what if you aren't sure of the name.
Go to your list in SharePoint
Click the COG (to right) and go to List Settings
Scroll down to the fields
Click on the Field name Task whatever
This will open the Properties page for that Field
LOOK at the URL (yes the URL) at the end of the URL will be the ACTUAL name of the field.. make sure you use that.
