Dynamically Populate SPO List With Files From Specific Folder?
I created a screenshot to clarify what I'm trying to accomplish. While viewing a SPO list, a user clicks "Add new item" and sees this form. For the File field, it is not a free-form text field but rather is a drop-down menu populated with files from a doc library. After a user selects one file from the drop-down menu, the file name would be added to the form. Is this possible in SPO?
ctgrman,
I finally understand, thank you for clarifying. You could use a calculated column for this but based on the screenshot you sent me it looks like you want to populate the item Title column. This means you probably need a workflow that would populate the title field when an item is submitted. You would also need to make title not required for this to work. You could use SharePoint workflow for this but MS flow might be a better longer term solution. I hope this helps!
Thanks for the quick response. Don't worry about how the other fields are populated (e.g., Title) and I can manage creating a Flow to perform all required tasks. How would I populate the drop-down menu with the names of the files in a specific doc library? That is the question I need solved.
