Patch text value to dropdown

[Kadd]

Hello all !!!

Hope you're doing great.

New question from me today... I'm trying to patch a text string to a dropdown in my list. I have this formula but of course it doesn't work since "Obsolete" is a dropdown and requires a record value while "Yes" is just text.

Patch(Activity,ThisItem,{Obsolete:"Yes"})

would you have any idea how i can do it ?

Thanks a lot !!

Regards

AAAH WAIT !!! 

ok i found a way, i just thought about creating a hidden dropdown that holds the value "Yes" and assign it to my "Obsolete field with the patch function and it works !!

I'm sorry i disturbed everyone with this 😞

I couldn't find a way to delete the post .. 😞
