Overwrite default values in a text box with values of a collection

Posted on by Flowuser8

Hello everyone

In a SharePoint form, I want to overwrite the default values in a text field (Parent.Default) with the values from a collection as soon as checkboxes are clicked in a gallery.

The collection is created when the checkboxes (multiple choice) are clicked by using the following command:

Collect(groupData;ThisItem)

The values from a column of this collection are then transferred to the text field:

Concat(groupData;UserGroup;Char(13))

Do I need to make an adjustment to the “Default” setting of the text field so that the values from the SharePoint list are adopted by default, but are then overwritten when the checkboxes are changed?

Many thanks for your help.

Greetings
Andreas

Hi @Flowuser8 ,

You can set a variable to check if check box has been selected.

OnVisible of Screen.

Set(var,false)

OnSelect of CheckBox.

Set(var,true)

Default of Label.

If(var,Concat(groupData;UserGroup;Char(13)),Parent.Default)

Best regards,

Hi Rimmon

Thank you very much for your help. It works perfectly!

May I ask you something else?
How can I make sure that the checkboxes are no longer selected the next time I open the window? They should be cleard when the form is closed. Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Andreas
