Hi @Ashok2 ,

Could you please share more details about your scenario? What do you mean by "show textbox"? Do you mean when selecting "others" option a Text Input box will display and let user fill in then update the filled in value to the look up list?

If so, you will need to use another Patch function rather than the SubmitForm function:

//create a new item in the list that the LookUp column look up in. Patch(YourLookUpList, Defaults(YourLookUpList), {ColumnLookedUp: TextInput.Text}); If(Form.Mode = FormMode.New, //in new mode create a new item in this list. Patch(ThisList,Defaults(ThisList),{LookUpColumn: LookUp(YourLookUpList, ColumnLookedUp = TextInput.Text)}), //in other mode edit the selected item of this list. Patch(ThisList, Gallery.Selected ,{LookUpColumn: LookUp(YourLookUpList, ColumnLookedUp = TextInput.Text)}) )

Hope this helps.

Hi @Ashok2 ,

Am so sorry that I had some mistakes in above formula, please try below:

//create a new item in the list that the LookUp column look up in. Patch(YourLookUpList, Defaults(YourLookUpList), {ColumnLookedUp: TextInput.Text, OtherColumn1: ..., OtherColumn2: ...}); If(Form.Mode = FormMode.New, //in new mode create a new item in this list. Patch(ThisList,Defaults(ThisList),{LookUpColumn: LookUp(Choices(ThisList.LookUpColumn), Value = TextInput.Text)}), //in other mode edit the selected item of this list. Patch(ThisList, Gallery.Selected ,{LookUpColumn: LookUp(Choices(ThisList.LookUpColumn), Value = TextInput.Text)}) ); //save other columns of this list SubmitForm(FormName)

Besides, you will need to modify the formula in the Update property of the LookUp column Data Card:

If(!IsBlank(DataCardValue.Selected.Value),DataCardValue.Selected) //DataCardValue is the name of the Combo box control inside this DataCard

For the second question, what do you mean by "save other values of lookup in SharePoint with others"? Do you want to update items of 2 different lists within 1 Form? You may see other columns have been added into the first Patch function of my updated formula.

Hope this helps.
