Hi all

Is there a way to update the choice set values from apps?
Also when I try to update row from apps its creating anew row instead of updating it.

I dont think you can update the choice set values or add choice set values in data services

Cheers

You can add or update the records…but not the choice sets…these are the values of a specific field

Also for choice sets only update possible is the display name and all of these needs to be done from data services menu

Hi @Ana_Patricia…

1.Retrieve the Data Service Entity Row:
Use the relevant activity to retrieve the entity row from your Data Service. This typically involves using “Get Entity Records” or a similar activity and specifying the criteria for retrieving the row you want to update. Make sure you store the retrieved row in a variable.

2.Update the Choice Set Item:
To update a choice set item, locate the specific field (property) within the entity that represents the choice set item.
Create a variable to hold the updated value you want to assign to the choice set field.

3.Modify the Row:
Assign the updated value to the choice set field in the Data Service Entity Row.

4.Update the Data Service Entity Row:
Use the appropriate activity, such as “Update Entity Records,” to update the row in the Data Service. Configure the activity with the entity name and the updated row.

Here’s a general example using UiPath with VB.NET:

’ Assuming you’ve already retrieved the Data Service Entity Row and stored it in a variable (dataRow)
’ Replace “ChoiceSetField” with the actual field name that represents the choice set.

Dim updatedValue As String = “NewChoice” ’ The new choice set item

’ Modify the choice set field in the Data Service Entity Row
dataRow(“ChoiceSetField”) = updatedValue

’ Use the “Update Entity Records” activity to update the row in the Data Service
’ Make sure to set the entity name and the updated row
’ entity: The name of the entity you’re updating
’ dataRow: The DataRow with the changes

’ Add the “Update Entity Records” activity here and configure it accordingly.
