Combobox multiple selection

Hi powerapps community,

 

i have a combobox which allows multiple selection, when i am trying to patch the values back to my database table, it only patches one value and not the rest? im trying something like this 

ForAll(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,Patch( source,Defaults(source),{Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id: 45,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id:ComboBox1.Selected.ID}))

 

this code only patches one value instead on multiple. And also it is supposed to create a new row when a new value is patched 

 

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Shafeel_07,

 

Do you want to patch combo box select items to one field?

What is your data source?

And what the column type of Data_Integrity_Sytems_Id and Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id?

Do you want to patch multiple items to multiple rows or to one field?

I think there is some wrong for your formula, If you want to Patch multiple combobox items,you should use,combobox.selectitems, combobox.seleted.id can only be one item. 

I test with SP list as data source, I think you can try following workaround.

 

Method1:Number type of Data_Integrity_Systems_Id and multiple items to multiple rows.

Data Source:

2019PatchComboboxmutiple(my SP list name)

Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id (Number type)

Data_Integrity_Systems_Id (Number type)

20190208patchcomboboxmethod1sp1.png

App Test:

ComboBox1.Items:'2019PatchComboboxmutiple'.Data_Integrity_Systems_Id

Button1.OnSelect: ClearCollect(comtest,ComboBox1.SelectedItems);ForAll(comtest,Patch('2019PatchComboboxmutiple',Defaults('2019PatchComboboxmutiple'),{Title:6,Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id

:45,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id:comtest[@Data_Integrity_Systems_Id]}))

Result Test:

20190208method1resulttestsp1.png

Method2:Single line type and multiple items to one field

Data Source:

2019PatchComboboxmutiple(my SP list name)

Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id (Number type)

Data_Integrity_Systems_Id (Single line )

 20190208method2sp2.png

App Test:

ComboBox1.Items:'2019PatchComboboxmutiple'.Data_Integrity_Systems_Id

Button1.OnSelect: Patch('2019PatchComboboxmutiple',Defaults('2019PatchComboboxmutiple'),{Title:4,Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id:45,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id

:Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id&",")})

20190208method2apptest2.jpg

On your side :

Patch(‘source’,Defaults('source'),{Data_Integrity_Test_Case_Id:45,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id

:Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,Data_Integrity_Systems_Id&",")})

 

Result Test:

20190207patchcomboboxselectresulttestmethod2.gif

Hope this can be helpful.

Best Regards.

Hi, do you want to make a new record for each comboBox item? The code below does that or modify for your requirement.

Also you may need to specify the field in the combo, like this:  cboEmployee.SelectedItems.Employee

 

ForAll(
    cboEmployee.SelectedItems.Employee,
     Patch(
        appDailyJobSheets_1,
        Defaults(appDailyJobSheets_1),
        {
            ContractNo: cboDropContractNo_2.Selected.Contract,
            CategoryID: cboCategory_2.Selected.Result,
            Added: Today(),
            ),
            Employee: Employee
        }
    )
)

Hi 

 

And if I want to later edit the information of ShP in powerapps with the format of combobox in line of a line of text?
For example, when selecting an element of a gallery a combobox take the saved data of the selected element from ShP and can edit the multiple selection and then update that information again in ShP in the same record Problema.png

Hi dear @v-yuxima-msft ,

I have the same problem as the author.

And i create an apps as your solution.

My SharePoint List Name: Shift Turn Registration

Share Point Column Name: TeamMember

 

But apps pop up an alert like this:1.png

 

My Formula like this:

2.png

Although i created an list and apps same with yours, it also have the same alert.

Could u please help?

Thank u sooooooo much!

Is it correct that;

- You can store comma seperated data to a MSSQL table database as a string from a multiselection
- You can not retrieve data from an MSSQL table to a multiselection Combox because MSSQL do not have a record infotype / fieldtype?

- The Default property in PowerApp/multiselection combobox expect a record value and will not accept a text string. 

 

It nice to save time by not searching for answers (how to use a multiselection combobox with MSSQL) when there are none.

 

That for any reply!

I am doing same thing but not working on patch function.

here I am saving data and getting error.

Hi 

 

Just wanted to know more as im also facing the same issue since long time and no answers around as such. 

I feel that this is some what same as i wanted to achieve. 

To be more precise on this, can you just explain how the same out can be achieved in terms of updating the columns and not rows?

 

Please
