Filter a Gallery based on the selected value in a Data Card of the Allowed Values type

Hi All,

I have a screen that contains an Edit Form and a Gallery. When the users change one of the values in a Data Card (it is a drop down with allowed values), I want to filter the gallery with that data. I was able to make this work on another screen that was using a normal drop-down input object that was not inside of an edit form.

My edit for object is DataCardValue8 and my gallery filter is currently: Filter(L_ITDowntime_ApplicationLookup,Title=DataCardValue8.SelectedText.Value)

I've tried also just referencing the value in the data card in a text label using this as the text value:

"Selected Dept: " & DataCardValue8.SelectedText.Value

However, both the gallery and the text label are returning blank/null when referencing DataCardValue8.SelectedText.Value, even though there is an item selected. Any ideas on what I need to do to reference the selected text in an allowed values data card on an edit form?

Hi Seb,

That returns an Error. I believe you can only use .Selected.Value for a Text Input object, and not a drop-down object.

SelectedText as far I’m aware will be taken out soon so the other option you can try is Selected.”ColumnName” try this and let me know

That also is not working, I still get a NULL value.

I ended up creating a Drop-Down object outside of the edit form that I was able to reference. Then I filtered by gallery based on that drop-down, and I set the default value of the Data Card to that Drop-Down as well.
