Patching dropdown to seperate sharepoint list

[nor3msti]

I have a canvas app that saves data to a sp list, due to limitations on how many items I created another list for the dropdown items.

App saves to sharepoint list great, and the dropdown will save to another list, I edited my patch function but can't seem to get the shoplocation2 to show up, so i know what location is in each row like the original list. The first part of the patch works but when I try and get it to patch the carshop location to the seperate list I get errors and I've tried all sorts of scenarios this is my recent.

Patch(CarShopAudit_dd, Defaults(CarShopAudit_dd),{sdd1:sDropdown1_1.Selected},Patch(CarShopAudit_Q,BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location2': &""& 'Shop Location'.Text}))

 The first picture is sp list, everything updates as it should, 2nd shows what it looks like if I just patch the dropdown, and the third is what the app datacard looks like if that matters?

I need whatever the shop location is on the app to show up on both sp lists also. 

Shop location text input name is ShopLocation_txt_input  The name of the card is Shop Location_DataCard2 if you need that.

Thank you in advance for any help.

What if you split your patch functions with a semicolon instead?

Patch(CarShopAudit_dd, Defaults(CarShopAudit_dd),{sdd1:sDropdown1_1.Selected});
Patch(CarShopAudit_Q,BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location2': &""& 'Shop Location'.Text})

Or at least try each portion of it separately to confirm all is working, then join together with semicolon.  I think trying to patch two data sources simultaneously could be the issue

I knew the first half worked, but the second half after adding the semi colon gives an error

Patch(CarShopAudit_Q,BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location2': &""& 'Shop Location'.Text})

Can you share more about the error?  What does the App Checker say?

Also what is the purpose of &""&'Shop Location'.Text?  That looks weird.  Are you trying to put a blank space in front?  What happens if you get rid of the first part and just use 'Shop Location'.Text?

right now, says name isnt valid after changing the formula, 

Just to be clear what I want to do is basically copy the text input from one sharepoint list to another while patching the dropdown selection. 

this isnt complete but is what I changed so far,,

Patch(CarShopAudit_dd, Defaults(CarShopAudit_dd),{sdd1:sDropdown1_1.Selected}) ; Patch(CarShopAudit_Q, BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location':ShopLocation_txt_input  })

[Rusk]

Patch(CarShopAudit_Q, BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location':ShopLocation_txt_input  })

might need a .Text at the end:

Patch(CarShopAudit_Q, BrowseGallery1.Selected,{'Shop Location':ShopLocation_txt_input.Text})

error goes away but the shop location isnt getting patched to the seperate sp list

[Rusk]

 The record you are patching is

BrowseGallery1.Selected

 What is that value? What about something like

Patch(CarShopAudit_Q, LookUp(CarShopAudit_Q, ID = BrowseGallery1.Selected.ID),{'Shop Location':ShopLocation_txt_input.Text})

Ok,

maybe I didnt explain what I wanted to do clear enough, My formula I posted is me trying anything to get it to work, 

I have a canvas app that updates a sharepoint list, "CarShopAudit_Q"  everything works like it should but since I have more controls on each question and sharepoint only allows one item per column I created another sharepoint list "CarShopAudit_dd" , the patch I was using to patch the dropdown selections to the later of the two sharepoint lists works fine but for me to keep them organized and know which one belongs to which, I wanted the shoplocation from the original sharepoint list to also get patched to the sharepoint list that has the dropdown selections, I posted that formula simply because I have tried,

several scenarios and nothing was working. 

basically I want the dropdown selection and the shop location to show up on the second sharepoint list and I assumed patching it was the correct way.

thank you for your patience with me.

I got it to work using the formula this way;

Patch(CarShopAudit_dd, Defaults(CarShopAudit_dd),{'Shop Location2':ShopLocation_txt_input.Text , sdd1:sDropdown1_1.Selected})
