Error on patching data in Sharepoint list from Powerapps for dropwdown

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

So i already have a column name on my sharepoint list. I already tested this out without the dropdown function and just inputting text. It works out fine but then i wanted to add a new function where there is a dropdown button consisting of values. i wanted to add them and patch whatever is selected on the dropdown button to the sharepoint list.

Heres the code: 

 

If(
 !IsBlank(start_inputfield.Text) && !IsBlank(session_dropdown.Selected.Value),
 Patch(
 HRProject_Start,
 Defaults(HRProject_Start),
 {
 'Session Name': session_dropdown.Selected.Value,
 Email: User().Email,
 Text: start_inputfield.Text,
 'Date and Time Submitted': Text(Now(), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm")
 }
 )
);

 

It doesnt give a hint on which errors it is. Here's a picture

    Please try:

     Patch(
     HRProject_Start,
     Defaults(HRProject_Start),
     {
     'Session Name': session_dropdown.Selected.Value,
     Email: User().Email,
     Text: start_inputfield.Text,

    Hello @v-bofeng-msft , i just found out that the selected value im using is not Text and since my sharepointlist is on Text datatype. it gives an error. So i made a solution of adding Text(). but then it still gives an error.

    The values i used for dropdown is coming from a table on a excel sheet.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    The point is that there is no such a property named 'Value' in session_dropdown.Selected . Please check the items property of the session_dropdown and confirm which field you need to reference.
