Hello,

I'm building a time recording app consisting of:

Start button btnStart
End button btnEnd
Project dropdown drpSelectProject
Notes txtNotes

Currently its updating a SharePoint List using:

btnStart

Set (varNewItem, Patch (TimeLog, Defaults (TimeLog),{Title: User().Email, Project: drpSelectProject.Selected, WhenStarted:Now(), SessionActive:true}));

btnEnd

Set (varNewItem, Patch (TimeLog, LookUp (TimeLog, varNewItem.ID=ID),{WhenFinished:Now(), NumberOfMinutesUsed:DateDiff (varNewItem.WhenStarted,Now(), TimeUnit.Minutes), SessionActive: false}));

How do I configure the above patches to include the text input component please and what is best practice of when/how to delete any text entered? I was thinking either after selecting the End button or when closing the form.

Thanks

Hi @MrSheen

To patch a text input to a column, it would look like this
Patch('Data Source', Defaults('Data Source'), {'Column Name': TextInput1.Text})
