Deleting the selection from a dropdown

[shal2522]

When user deletes a value from a dropdown field  – I want another field to default to a value.

How do I go about this in powerapps?

Hi @shal2522 ,

Could you explain your scenario with the screenshot if possible?

[shal2522]

I have a dropdown field called machine type  with values

A

B

C 

D

and another field where it defaults to the name of the person the machine is assigned to.

Say machine type has been selected as 'A' and I want that field to be blank.When I select Blank I want the assigned to be defaulted to organization name instead of individual person

Will this work ?
If(
DataCardValue15.Selected.Value = "-" || DataCardValue9.Selected. Value = "ABC "
)

Hi @shal2522,

Please share more details with a screenshot. So it will be easier to understand your issue.

When you change DropDown value to Blank from A, B, C or D. then the OnChange property of Dropdown Set one variable and assign its value as Organization name. Then on the Default property of your text field apply this variable.

OnChange= If(DropDown.Selected.Value="Blank" || IsBlank(DropDown.Selected.Value),Set(VarOrg,OrganizationName.Value));

Text=If(DropDown.Selected.Value="Blank" || IsBlank(DropDown.Selected.Value),VarOrg,Person.DisplayName);

Hope it will helpful to you, tag me for more.. And mark as a solution ✔️ if this post helps to resolve your issue.

Hi @shal2522, 

It will be better, if you provide more details about AssignedTo field. Is it Text field or DropDown? and the Organization value is come from which field/Column?

Try this,

Text=If(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value = "-" || DataCardValue9.Selected. Value = "ABC " || IsBlank(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value) ||  IsBlank(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value),'Organization name',PersonName);

Its a text field and we can hardcode organization  name

I am new to powerapp  can you explain where I should add this

Text=If(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value = "-" || DataCardValue9.Selected. Value = "ABC " || IsBlank(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value) ||  IsBlank(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value),'Organization name',PersonName);

I get a error in the formula message

@shal2522 ,

Add this to the default property of the TextInput or  Text property of the label that you have used for the AssignedTo property.

If(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value = "-" || DataCardValue9.Selected. Value = "ABC " || IsBlank(DataCardValue15.Selected.Value) ||  IsBlank(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value),"Text to Hard Coded value for your organization",PersonName);
// here PersonName is for else condition. 

  Example: refer screenshot below;

You have to add your logical formula on the default property of the TextInput/ Text property of Label under AssignedTo field.
