Using Buttons as choices instead of drop downs

[mezcalbean]

Hi 

I have a calculator as an example, using SharePoint as the base I have a choice of say male and female. Instead of a dropdown I would like a button one being male and the other being female. How can one use buttons instead of drop downs?

Thanks

Hi @mezcalbean ,

Put them both in the Data Card and delete the Drop-own. Set a Variable on each OnSelect

UpdateContext({varGender: "Male"})

and Female for the other one. The Update for the Card would be (if writing back to a Choice field)

{Value:varGender}

or a Text field

varGender

Hi @WarrenBelz 

thank you for the quick reply

Apologies for not completely understanding your reply.

I have updated the data card but there is an error 

 

I have added two other screen shot one of the card and the SharePoint name

Thank you for your help

@mezcalbean ,

That is just the error box - you can either delete it (as well as the star) or set the Y to Parent.Height - 5
