Hello,

Beginner Power Apps developer here. I have a form with a sharepoint list. One of the fields with a combo box that has 4 choices and the user can also manually enter a value. When i save the value does not save. Not sure what i am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Please check the Update property of the Datacard?

Ensure that it is set to DatacardValue33.Selected

Hi lterrazas,

A few questions, what is the type of column you are trying to patch? Number?

Are you allowing multiple selection in your ComboBox?

Kind regards,

Nandit

@SudeepGhatakNZ yes the data card was set to what you stated. I did find that this worked on Update:

If(
!IsBlank(DatacardValue33.Selected),
DatacardValue33.Selected,
{Value: DatacardValue33.SearchText}
)

However the issue i have now is that the value added is showing in my drop down choices now which is not what I want.

Hello @Nandit

I got it to save with the manually entered value in the combo box by updating the UPDATE field with:

If(
!IsBlank(DatacardValue33.Selected),
DatacardValue33.Selected,
{Value: DatacardValue33.SearchText}
)

However the issue i have now is that the value added is showing in my drop down choices now which is not what I want.

Basically the user can select one of the four choices or enter a manually entered value. This is a combo box in a form using a sharepoint list.
