Unable to get Patch working with data source

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 39

Hello, I have a sharepoint list "ItemList" with the following columns "Title" "Out" "User"

I would like to use patch so that when the app user clicks a button it will find the first instance  from the list where the row has a value of "NO" in the "Out" column, and then update that row to change "NO" to "YES" and the append the Users name to the "User" Column

 

Sample data is as follows

 

TitleOutUser
I1YESBen
I2NO 
I3NO 

 

A successful use of the button would change the data to as follows

 

TitleOutUser
I1YESBen
I2YESDan
I3NO 

 

My button so far is as follows

Patch( 'ItemList', LookUp('ItemList', Out=NO), { User: "Dan" } )

This looks to be correct but it is displaying an error on Out=NO Name isn't valid. This identifier isn't recognized.

    Hi @Destek11 ,

    Try

    Patch(
     'ItemList', 
     {Out:"NO"}, 
     {User: "Dan"}
    )

    Bear in mind that this will only Patch the first matching record (as would your original code with "" quotes around NO)
