Hi,

 

Pulling my hair out with this.

 

I have a SP list which I’m using as a User database for the app.

 

Columns as follows:

 

AppUser (Person Field), Unique User Ref (Text), Group 1(Yes/No), Group 1 Role(Choice)

 

I want to store 2 variables on app start.

 

I’d like to search the Unique User Ref field and if a match is found store the value of Group 1 in varGroup (true/false) and id like to store the (single) choice value of Role in varRole…

 

Is this possible? It’s blown my brain.

    Ok, so I’ve sort of got a work around by creating a gallery and filtering it and then retrieving the item.

     

    Is there a better way though? Thanks

    Finally worked it out!

     

    Set variable by Filtering collection with Unique Ref.

     

    Then use ‘Concat()’ to get the value from the Rose field.
