Is there a way to programmatically add an empty record at the beginning of a table?

[WebPortal]

Hello,

Is there a way to programmatically add an empty record at the beginning of a table?

This is the datasource of a combobox:

Sort(Table, Title, Ascending)

I need an empty record at the top of the combobox so the user can select it.

Hi @WebPortal ,

If you are using Title in the Combo Box, then you could do this

Patch(
   Table,
   Defaults(Table),
   Title:{""}
)
     

This should sort at the top.

Hi @WarrenBelz 

Actually, it is Entidades, but using the same logic:

Patch(Entidades, Defaults(Entidades), Entidade{""})

Returns:

"Name isn't valid. The identifier isn't recognized"

You can create a Collection OnStart of the App:

Collect(CollTable,{Firstvalue:""});
Collect(CollTable,Datasource)

Then Change your code to";

Sort(CollTable, Title, Ascending)

@WebPortal ,

I thought you might pick up the missing colon (free-typed) - fixed now.
