Dropdown box no/incorrect value

[Andries1]

After inserting data source I removed the data input field and replaced with dropdown selction. I made sure that it is still in the correct field. Because that particular field is required I get the error of no or incorrect value which I assume is because of the dropdown box? My syntax on Items of Dropdown box: ["Name of Course", "Basic Fall Arrest"] to my knowledge this output is be default in Text?

Hi!

I´m not really getting you problem. Do you get an error when you try to display your selection? If that is the case, the syntax for the label (or whetever the control is) should be Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value. If you only type Dropdown1.SelectedText, you will get errors since that doesn´t return a string.

I get the message when I try to submit Form. I believe that the DataCard does not recognize the DropDown Input field or my data type is incirrect?

I replaced the original Input field with dropdown selection once I connected the data.

Ok, now I´m following 🙂

Can you try to set the Update property of the Datacard to dropdown1.SelectedText.Value and the try to submit the form. Just replace dropdown1 to your dropdown-id. I think that this might solve your problem. 🙂

Hi @Andries1 ,

Could you please share a bit more about the data input field that you mentioned? Is it a Text type field?

Do you want to use Dropdown box selection collect data for the field instead of the original Text Box?

I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Set the Update property of the Text Input field data card within your Edit form to following:

Dropdown1.Selected.Value

Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,
