Custom cards will not update to SharePoint list

Posted on by ktownshend

I have two custom cards in a Power Apps form. They view correctly and I see the data but when I save an go back to the SharePoint list, refresh and try a new entry those two fields will not populate with the data selected.

They are two dropdown boxes that tie into a separate SharePoint list that holds the necessary data. for Employee Full name and Employee.

I know it has to do with the Update properties for these two cards and I've tried every trick I can find but no luck.

I need the email field to populate so that the Power Automate I have will run to send that email address an email. Right now the flow fails due to the Null value in the email field.

Please any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. I know I'm missing something probably so very simple but I've been trying to rebuild this list after someone mistakenly deleted it.

The two fields from the SharePoint list are:

Coding for datacards:

SortByColumns(Employee,"FullName")

Filter(Choices([@'Corrective Actions'].ResponsibleEmployee_x003a_Email), Value = Dropdown_ResEmp.Selected.Email)

What I see on the Form before saving and publishing and returning to the list:

But on save those two fields are blank.

They are set up as Lookup columns on the list itself.

Thank you

Hi @ktownshend ,

All of that is correct - a Custom Card does not have an Update property. You need to use a "normal" data card and modify the properties accordingly.

Hi WarrenBlez,

I'm not sure what you are meaning behind the "normal" card and modify that. I've used Custom cards in the past without issue and have had it populate back to a list without issue.

There are other dropdowns in this form that populate back to the Corrective Actions list without issue, it's just these two that will not.

Thank you

Hi @ktownshend ,

Is this a Custom Card because you unlocked it or did you add as a Custom Card (which you can test for by the lack of an Update property)

They were unlocked and had their original selection box replaced with a drop down control. The control was then linked to the table/list that contains the data necessary to match employee to employee email.

The objective is for the person putting the record in, they only have to hand key certain fields, the rest is populated for them by certain selections made.

I'm trying to standardize this entry process as much as possible.

Thank you for your questions and suggestions.

@ktownshend ,

OK - I need some details on each

What type of Control is on each card (Text Input / Combo Box / Drop-down) ?

What is the Default of the control (DefaultSelectedItems if a Combo Box) ?

What is the name and type of field it is writing back to. If a Choice or Lookup column, is it single or multiple value ?

If a Combo Box or a Drop-down, what is the Items and what is the field name it is displaying (if not Value for Choices) ?

What is the Update of the Data Card ?
