Switch between Custom Forms based on Drop down for order type

Hi tylerbailey1,

I think you should create 3 different forms (with their own set of required fields), place them on top of each other and control their visibility based on the selected Dropdown item.

For example, if the user selects Lease Request, then only display the Lease Request form. You would write something like this in the form's visible property:

Dropdown.Selected.Value = "Lease Request"

Do the same for the other two forms.
If you have the default forms in your app, just use the SubmitForm function on a button like this:

Switch(Dropdown.Selected.Value, "Leave Request", SubmitForm(Form1), "Capex Request", SubmitForm(Form2), "Service Order Request", SubmitForm(Form3))

If you are using Patch function, you can also customise it like this:

Switch(Dropdown.Selected.Value, "Leave Request", Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), {Leave Request Fields: Inputs}), "Capex Request", Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), {Capex Request Fields: Inputs}), "Service Order Request", Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), {Service Order Request Fields: Inputs}))

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Nandit
