PowerApps Yes/No checkbox submitted to a SharePoint List

What is the best approach to save Yes/No checkbox value into a SharePoint List. I have a Custom List call "HelpDesk", added a column type "Single line of text" - Call "Is this a new Issue"

Have a checkbox [ ]Yes and checkbox [ ]No

I been reading about Patch() function.

Solution

  • There are two ways to start the PowerApps design, start with data or from scratch. In your case, since you already have a SP list with necessary fields, but only mismatched datatype i.e. bool into string - you can do either way. But I would recommend to have boolean field in SP list, you will get a Flip switch (Toggle) in Canvas app based on datatype when you build from data.

    enter image description here

    If you are building from scratch or not, still you can manage to identify the Yes/No option (It can be a single checkbox or two radio buttons) & store the value in a context variable using SET() function & use that variable when you submit the form.
