Currently creating a recognition platform and have a multiple select directory drop box.

Is it possible for each selected user to have a list item created for them?

I know i'd throw it in a for each loop but want to make sure if even possible

Hi honganhuynh1

Yes, this would be possible by calling Patch from within a ForAll.

The formula would look something like this:

ForAll( YourDropdownBox.SelectedItems, Patch( YourDataSource, Defaults(YourDataSource), { Column1:DropdownBoxColumnName } ) )

@timl,

That did help create multiple list items but it put the same person for both list items.

ForAll(

DataCardValue15.SelectedItems,

Patch(

'BeNascentia Pending',

Defaults('BeNascentia Pending'),

{

To:DataCardValue15.Selected

}

)

)

Hi honganhuynh1

You should just be able to specify the column name in the dropdown rather than DataCardValue15.Selected.

So for example if the column name is FullName, the syntax would look like this:

ForAll( DataCardValue15.SelectedItems, Patch( 'BeNascentia Pending', Defaults('BeNascentia Pending'), { To:FullName } ) )

The column name is To

So should it be To:To?

ForAll(

DataCardValue15.SelectedItems,

Patch(

'BeNascentia Pending',

Defaults('BeNascentia Pending'),

{

To: ThisRecord

})

)

Did the trick!
