I've got a Canvas app gallery with a list of items.

I want to be able to drill down into each item and display or edit them on a separate screen.

Could someone point me in the right direction of how to do this?

Thanks

Hi @lee-martin

Follow these steps:

Add an Icon into the template (top) row of your gallery
Add a new screen for your form (say it's called 'Screen2')
Go back to the icon you added to your gallery and in the 'Onselect' property of the icon add the following Power Fx code:
Navigate(Screen2, ScreenTransition.None, {varRecord: ThisItem})
Insert an EditForm control on your new screen (Screen2) and in the properties pane on the right, select yourlist as the 'Data source' - make sure the Default mode is set to 'Edit'
Now, with the form selected, go to the Items property and add the following:
varRecord
Now add two buttons and change the text in each to 'Cancel' and 'Submit'
In the Cancel Button, add the following:
ResetForm(Form1) ; Navigate(Screen1)
In the submit button add the following:
SubmitForm(Form1)
Select the form, go to the properties drop down on the top left and choose the 'OnSuccess' property. Then add the following code:
ResetForm(Form1) ; Navigate(Screen1)
You should now be able to try this out and achieve the desired effect.

Note: if you want the form to initially be in view only mode, you just need to change the Default mode of the form to 'View' - then add another button on your form screen (Screen2) with the text 'Edit' and add the following code to the OnSelect of that button: EditForm(Form1)

Hope this helps

Thanks, I've done this, but not managed to get the form items in the edit page populated.

Where am I likely to have messed up?

Thanks

@lee-martin - can you paste in details of what code you have added and where you have added it? - Screenshots would be best

Thanks - that all looks fine - can you send a larger screenshot showing the entire form screen (remainder of the form properties, the form on the canvas and the tree view on the left?)

Will try and sanitise the form a bit as I don't want to share too much company data.

Just thought, is the fact I'm using the dataverse likely to be causing this issue?

Thanks for your help
