Patching a blank to Share Point List number column

[Tono_Analyst2]

How can I patch a blank/null to a number column in SP?

I have tried the below but does not work.

With({CB_selection :Dropdown.Selected.ID},

Patch(
    SP_List,
    ThisItem,
    {Num_col: If(IsBlank(CB_selection ), Blank(), CB_selection )}
);

Try turning this on in Settings

That worked perfectly, thank you! May I ask what this setting changed, as the description seems to indicate that it provides error details?

No worries, glad it worked.

To be honest, I don't think anyone really knows why it works, we just know we need to use it haha.

This MS Doc kind of explains what's happening but not really. The basic idea is that any time you are needing to Patch Blank values to a Data Source you will need to turn this feature on, PowerApps then takes care of what you are trying to do.

@EddieE okay, thanks again! If it works, it works 🙂
