I have a form with a dropdown list. How do I save the user’s choice to the new record? For instance, I have a field called payment type. I made a new collection with all the possible choices, created a relationship and added the dropdown to my form. How do I save the choice to the record?
Hi @JohnShortell,
Welcome to the forum!
You need to add an element (button, icon, …) on the screen and add an action to this element, to update Logged-in User. In the update fields, in the respective property, you will be able to add value from dropdown (look at “Other Components” section in the flyout menu, there you will find your dropdown).
I am assuming that (a) you’d like to update Logged-in User and (b) you have a relationship to other collection set up properly.
Best,
Victor.
There is only one user. All records in the database belong to this user. I have a submit button only. How do I tie the dropdown choice of payments type to the payment type field in the new record?
@JohnShortell please see above - you can create new payment record and set the relationship value using same method as described in my previous answer.
You just need to make sure the dropdown is connected to the right field in your main collection (the one where the new record gets saved)
