Patch formula help

[PBala]

Hi, 
Can you please help me with the below scenario. Lists built on SharePoint.

List 1: Employee Information, Location field is Managed Metadata.

List 2: Company Store Order, Location field is Single line of Text.

On Form 1 Submit ( Employee Information), I want to write to Company Store Order using On Success.. Location does not work with the  error, "The type of this argument does not match the expected type. The type text was found."

ForAll(
ExpenseCollection,
Patch(
'Company Store Order Form',
Defaults('Company Store Order Form'),
{
Title: LineItem,
Quantity: LineQuantity,
Price:LineCost,
Size:LineSize,
MasterID:Form1.LastSubmit.ID,
EName:Form1.LastSubmit.Title,
PhoneNumber:Form1.LastSubmit.PhoneNumber,
Location:Form1.LastSubmit.Location.Selected
}
)
)

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Remove the SELECTED on the location:

ForAll(
ExpenseCollection,
Patch(
'Company Store Order Form',
Defaults('Company Store Order Form'),
{
Title: LineItem,
Quantity: LineQuantity,
Price:LineCost,
Size:LineSize,
MasterID:Form1.LastSubmit.ID,
EName:Form1.LastSubmit.Title,
PhoneNumber:Form1.LastSubmit.PhoneNumber,
Location:Form1.LastSubmit.Location
}
)
)

Thanks, I tried that first. I get the same error. " The type of this argument "Location" does not match the expected type "Text". Found type "Record';

I'm not proficient on what "managed metadata" is in the world of SharePoint but this sounds like it could be similar to a JSON object.  If it is, then the error message you are receiving is accurate. You cannot set a text field to be equal to a value of type object.  I would think there's a few solutions to your problem:

1. You could wrap the location in JSON() which will turn it into a text version of the JSON object.  You'd do this if you want to maintain the structure of the object in a text field
2. Otherwise drill deeper into the object using "." dot notation to get to an attribute(s) of the object that is of type Text.

Hope this helps!

ah yes I just saw your latest screenshot... Record = JSON Object try what I suggested.

Thank you very much. Can you please provide me some resources to achieve option 1.
