Patching SharePoint Choice columns from PowerApps using 'Value'
Copilot Prompt How do I patch a SharePoint choice column using a String in PowerApps? A quick PowerApps tutorial today. This is something that seems like it should be quite simple, but trips a lot of people up. It seems logical that you should just be able to patch the choice column with whatever string matches the choice your trying to select. For example: Patch( YourList, Defaults(YourList), { YourChoice: "Choice 1" } ) However a choice needs you to patch a record, stating the ‘Value’, instead of just a string: Patch( YourList, Defaults(YourList), { YourChoice: {Value: "Choice 1"} } ) If you’re using a dropdown or combo box within your app, you can reference it directly: Patch( YourList, Defaults(YourList), { YourChoice: Dropdown_choice.Selected } )
