Hi there,
I'm currently facing two issues:
#1 Comparing a lookup choice list entry with a list entry of another list
I've got two lists A and B.
List A contains following columns
- "Location", which is a single line of text (unique values).
- "Authorized staff", which is a Person or Group column, allow multiple selections, People only, Show field: Name
List B contains following columns (this is my Access request form)
- "Location", which is a lookup column to list A (column "Location")
In the form for List B, I want to get the Array of "Authorized staff" from List A based on my choice of "Location" in List B.
I tried the lookup() function, that din't work.
lookup("List A", "Location", Location (from Named Items), "Authorized staff", true)
Figuring out what values I get for my "Location" field, i created a "Calculated value" column. That Displays me, based on my choice, following value: "1;#Location 1", where "Location 1" is the actual value.
Any Chance to get the value from the choice field different or do I need to use the substring function?
#2 I want to compare the currenUser with the allowed users from List A in Column "Authorized staff"
I though using the inArray() function would suit to my Needs.
Ignoring my problem from #1 I used following lookup to get the array of users for a respective Location:
lookup("List A", "Location", "Location 1", "Authorized staff", true) and I get an Array of users.
Nevertheless, comparing the currentUser vs. the values I get from the field "authorized staff" are different.
e.g. "i:0#.x|domainuser" and "UserID;#Name".
Somebody with advices for my Problems #1 and #2?
