Hi

 

I'm trying to patch a CDS option set from my Canvas app using a button. 

 

The CDS entity is called 'alerts' the field is called 'Level" and the option set is called 'qrs_alertstate'. Alertstate has a few values; Critical, Warning and OK. 

 

for the life of me I can't get this to update. Here is my code: 

 

Patch([@Alerts], ThisItem, {Level : 'Level'.Okay})

 

can anyone help? 

 

thanks in advance

    Hi @Dr_David_Banner ,

     

    Yes, that is the problem.

     

    The Option Set Name is Alert State, the code should be:

    Patch([@Alerts], ThisItem, {Level : [@'Alert State'].'Okay'})

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Dr_David_Banner ,

     

    OK, What is the Option Set Name (Not the Option Set Field Name)?

    Could you please share the Option Set Field property shown as below?

    Hi @Dr_David_Banner ,

     

    Could you please try this? The option set also need to marked by a disambiguation operator

    Patch([@Alerts], ThisItem, {Level : [@'Level'].Okay})

    Hope this helps.

    I think the problem, for whatever reason is it can't find qrs_alertstate ?

    the message I get is "function lookup as some invalid arguements" 

     

    the name isn't valid, this identifier isn't recognised" 

     

    Thanks
