USING "TOOGLE", "CHECKBOX" OR "RADIO" FOR A CHOICE FIELD THAT ONLY HAS ONE OPTION

[Gorilla_8]

I have a choice field where the user can only select one option:

"No estimate"

And if he does not select the field he will save it blank, would it be possible to make this adjustment in PowerApps?

I tried to search and find a solution for only one option, and unfortunately, I was unsuccessful, it was only found for two options

@Gorilla_8 

It sounds to me like a Checkbox is your best choice as that represents one option.

Now the bigger question would be, is this in an EditForm or are you free-forming your entry?

If it is in an EditForm, then you can simply adjust the Update property of the DataCard to account for the checked or not checked condition.  If it is free-form, then you will need to do that adjustment in your Patch/Update formula.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi @RandyHayes 

I found a solution with two checkboxes and hid the second option and so far, it works perfectly, however I would like to make my code correct so as not to do this in the future.

I understood your explanation, but I was unable to apply the result to update the list in SharePoint, unfortunately, in just one chekboxes! 😞

@Gorilla_8 

So if I understand correctly, you have an EditForm and in there you have a column from your datasource record (name unknown, but I will call it Estimate) which is a Choice Column in your list.  The choice column has multiple choices but you are only concerned with one "No Estimate".  You want to put a checkbox in the datacard for this Estimate field and if the user checks the box, then the data should reflect a choice of "No Estimate" for the choice column value and if they do not, then (assuming) you want the value to be blank.

If the above is correct, then put your Checkbox in the datacard for the field. Let's call it chkEstimate.  

In the Update property of the datacard, set the formula to : 

    If(chkEstimate.Value, {Value:"No Estimate"}, Blank())

NOTE: you will need Formula-Level Error management option in your advanced settings turned on to set the field to blank.

Hi @RandyHayes 

Yes! 

And in the default of the property? 

I tried to put ThisItem.Estimate.Value and didn't work and I refresh the datasource

[RandyHayes]

@Gorilla_8 

In the Default property of the DataCard you should have ThisItem.Estimate

In the Default property of the CheckBox, you should have: Parent.Default.Value="No Estimate"

Hi @RandyHayes 

In the Default property of the DataCard is not the problem, I know about this, but in the porperty of the Checkbox I am getting a error on  Default

[RandyHayes]

@Gorilla_8 

What is the Default property of the Checkbox?

[Gorilla_8]

Hi @RandyHayes 

When I add the field normally in the form the default is white, however when I open the form to edit it does not appear as selected

[RandyHayes]

@Gorilla_8 

So again, what is the Default property of the Checkbox??

As mentioned, your properties should be the following:

In the Default property of the DataCard you should have ThisItem.Estimate

In the Default property of the CheckBox, you should have: Parent.Default.Value="No Estimate"
