Hello,

I am fairly new to PowerApps so please pardon my ignorance. I am following a tutorial on Udemy and been confused by the behaviour of using a dropdown. You can see in the gif below that when I select an item from the dropdown, sometimes it updates another gallery item instead of itself, sometimes it updates with the wrong value as well. That is the case whether I use either of these

Patch(colOrders, ThisItem,{Order: Self.Selected.Value}) or

Patch(colOrders, ThisItem,{Order: Dropdown1.Selected.Value})

ColOrders is a collection
ClearCollect( colOrders, { Employee: "Dane B", Order: "Hamburger" }, { Employee: "John Doe", Order: "Salad" } )

What is ColOrders? U should have a primary index for each record.
try ...

Patch(
colOrders,
LookUp(
colOrders,
ID= ThisItem.ID
),
{
Order: Dropdown1.Selected.Value
}
)

Hi @DB-15121022-0

What is in colOrders (what is the collect code) and do you have a unique identifier field in it ?
