I am trying to use AddColumns to add a field to the Claims list called wma (Choice field in Sharepoint) from the Events list to create a collection - my code is:

it is giving me an error "The requested operation is invalid. Server response - Events failed. The field in Events is called theeventID and the field in Claims is eventID and they should match - I need to get the wma value from Events into my collection colClaims

thanks for any assistance!

Assuming that you only want to return one column from the Lookup, then it should be in this syntax format:

Lookup([ListName], [Criteria]).FieldNameToReturn

Where the dot FieldnameToReturn is hanging off the outside of the Function() parens.

Why are you using wma.value? You can probably change it to wma if wma is a column name.

Hi @bobgodin

Try with a disambiguation operator - I assume wma is a Choice or Lookup column.
ClearCollect( colClaims, AddColumns( Claims, thewma, LookUp( Events As _E, _E.theeventID = eventID ).wma.Value ) ); Set( varWait, false );

@bobgodin

A quick follow-up to see if you received the answer you were looking for or if you need further assistance. I believe from a subsequent post that wma is a Choice field.
