Great video. Thanks for putting this together. In 21:06 for the multiperson input, is there a way to enter all the people without listing them one at a time?
Thank you so much for your very helpful video. How would one patch multiple records in a gallery to their respective lookup columns in a SharePoint list?
Hi Shane - great videos and all explained very well. How would you use the data from a complex column say multi select column in a combo box to filter a gallery?
Hi Shane, Great amazing outstanding video. I just have a quick question: I have a multi select person column, and I want to add a new person to that column ensuring that the existing persons does not get removed. GREAT THANKS.
Thanks for your explanation. Does a person column have to be a combo box? I used a dropdown to auto complete text input fields that pulls in job title in one field and dept in another. Populates as expected but when patching i did multiple {odata...} for each of those fields updating the dept: and job title: separately. No code errors but it doesnt pull data back to the SP list.
Hi Shane , I have a task which has been giving me the hardest time. I have two lists One has Student ID Name of student and the rest of the columns have a class and then a score and so on it could be up to 15 columns with corresponding grade. but I must use a look up list which has the class title , the description of the class and the respective points for each class. Even though the classes are the same they have different scores based on if is a freshman or senior. I just so lost have no idea where to go from here .
Hi, very good explanation and i am looking to add values manually dropdown list in PowerApps using SP List

Hi, Shane. How about patching combo box values with multiple selected items that is using a lookup field from another SP list? Been cracking my head over this for the past weeks. Hope you can help and thank you in advance.
Hi Shane, first of all, I find your Power Apps tutorials very helpful! 😎 I have one quick question, I have an app that I am building that tracks the tasks completed on a construction project for each unit. I have all of the tasks in a gallery and one of the controls in the gallery is the 'add picture' control one, so when populating the Patch Function, I am trying to the '.Image' string at the end of the name of the control but it isn't populating as an option and is saying an error when I still put it in. Any ideas what might be happening? 😅
Good Content.Thanks Shane..and asked one question in last short comments can you provide answer for it.

Hi Shane, Thanks for the video. In my case, i have 70-80 managed meta data terms and when i choose combo box field in the front end, app displays the top 20 items only. Though user can search as you type but it’s not like end user will be aware of all the ‘startwith’ keywords of these terms. Any workaround for this issue? Thanks!

Use a gallery instead of a combo box. It will take up more space but if you do a little work you can make it look nice and not too big. 🤩

Hi Shane, I believe the image column has changed in SharePoint. I tried to take the uploadedimage.image property and use it to patch an image column, but it told me that it expects a record, not text. I did some further digging and found that SharePoint image columns now have 4 properties and are therefore stored as a record: Full, Large, Medium, Small. I would assume these are meant for resolution differences and better performance based on image size. I still cannot figure out how to patch directly to the column. It shows up blank even when I patch the column using a record like: {Full: uploadedimage.image, Large: uploadedimage.image,... (and so on). I'm able to patch to a multiple lines of text column, but the image column will not save successfully. Any ideas?
Thanks for this. I was getting stressed chasing my tail trying to patch a 'request submitter' to a multi-person choice column. I thought what I had made sense, but it simply was not working.

Hello, thank you! I'd like to ask a question related to same topic.. I have a person column in SP list and I show this person name in the ComboBox (as DefaultSelectedItems). I need use this info (from ComboBox) in the "Patch" function. I tried as you explain in the video for person columns. But I couldn't use ComboBox output in the script, you use already as string (like email) in your code. How can I solve this?

I think you tweeted that you slaved 9 hours of video editing on this, over and above generating the SharePoint site and app in Power Apps, so thanks! Would you care to produce a Dataverse version of this, perhaps for columns that require slightly different Patch syntax? (I’m working from memory, but I seem to recall a terrible time I had trying to patch a multi choice Dataverse field, particularly when updating the record as opposed to patching default etc.) Enjoy the Super Bowl?

Why we would use static data? I mean what is static data?

For example maybe you want to automatically set the Manager to the logged in User or the Hire Date to Today's date. The idea is it is "static" because the user isn't entering it, the formula has the value "hard coded". Hope that helps
