Hi @EMohaisen

You can modify the "Update" property of your DataCard as:

If(!IsBlank(Var_HMT),{Value:Var_HMT},DataCardValue27.Selected)

Hope this Helps!

Hi @EMohaisen ,
Could you show me how do you set Var_HMT?
Is this choice field single choice?
I've made a similar test but not met the error that you showed.
Here's my test: (my choice field is single choice)
1)Set the button's OnSelect:
Set(Var_HMT,"In Porgress")
2)Set the drop down's Items:
Choices(listname.columnname)
Set the drop down's Default to empty
Set the data crad's Update:
If(!IsBlank(Var_HMT),{Value:Var_HMT},DataCardValue27.Selected)

Then if I cilck the button, the choice's field will update with the "In Porgress" value.

Hi @EMohaisen

Based on the previous screenshot that you have shared, you are setting up this variable on the Submit button itself. Please make sure you are using correct attributes/controls name in the formula. Are you getting this error on the Update Property? Can you share a screenshot of the part where exactly you are getting this error? Please share the specifics there might be some type mismatch around this expression because based on a similar test that I carried out on my end, this updates the choice field successfully.

Hope this Helps!
