Patch records from collection into choice field with button click

Posted on by 18

Hello,

I'm unable to find a solution for this specific example.

Goal: User selects one or more records from a gallery using checkboxes and is routed to a screen to perform different actions. One action is to simply click a button and the choice field for all associated records is set to "Returned".

 

Return Button:

Patch('Main Data',ForAll(Collect_List1,{Status: "Returned"}));
Clear(Collect_List1);
Back()

    ForAll(Collect_List1,

    Patch(

    'Main Data',

     

    //YOU NEED TO INSERT HERE IT IS NEW OR UPADTE

     

    ,{Status: "Returned"}

    )

    );
    Clear(Collect_List1);
    Back()

     

     

    That formula should work for you. You just need to say if it is a new record if you are updating a record

    Thanks for the response. I added the update function but still can't seem to make it work. I'm new to Power Apps and sure I'm missing something simple.

    I'm receiving error: The type of this 'Status' does not match the expected type 'Record'. Found type 'Text'.
