Posted on by GAM1741

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()

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

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.

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
