How can I add columns with dropdown menu to a lookup column?

Iron Contributor

Hi, I have two lists, one with resources and one with projects. The project list has a column "Resources" which is linked to the "Resource list". When a resource is chosen I want other columns, like "role" (which is a drop down menu) to automatically appear in the project list when I choose resource from the resource list. 

 

Currently only certain types of columns, e.g. simple lines of text and dates, and a few others (not relevant for the information I want) is possible to add to "allow multiple values". Add column to multiple values in lookp list.png

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

Hello @Merethe Stave, you can work with your SharePoint List and the Trigger Action "When a SharePoint Column is modified", see article here: https://api.smartredirect.de/api_v2/ClickGate.php?p=mGrZ7Eo09S&k=d147d08aaa00abb30599c12c4dc624bb&ur...

and working with cascaded drop downs is usually a thing to make with PowerApps App. Here is a good video from April Dunham to do it within a sharepoint list: https://www.sharepointsiren.com/2018/03/cascading-dropdowns-in-powerapps-sharepoint-lookups/

Hope that helps. SharePoint is better to manipulate with PowerApps (Forms) and Power Automate (Workflows), in my eyes.

 

Kind regards,
