I have two lists in sharepoint. EquipmentActivityList and DailyActivityList. I have an editform in powerapps to add new items to the DailyActivityList.  I have a dropdown menu as part of that editform to select items from the EquipmentActivityList. I have 2 questions. Firstly, is there a way to display information from two columns in that dropdown? Secondly, can I write data to more than one column in the DailyActivityList based on the dropdown selection?  If so, how can I accomplish those things?

    Hi @HugerichInc

     

    Yes you can but you will not be able to do it with EditForm. You need to create your own custom form and use Patch() function.
