In the PowerApps settings is a option to turn on. It’s called something with Behavior, I currently can’t check for the exact name.

once this one is activated you can set an behavior as inputs and use this input on the OnSelect of the button in de component. Once in the screen side of your app you can now enter formulas. So you can put there Set(‘variabele’, ‘set_to’) and every time that button is clicked the variability wil be set.

I’ve you have any further questions please let me know.

kind regards

In the PowerApps menu by pressing File -> settings
there is a list of experimental features. One of those is Behavioral components. This one needs to be activated by pressing the side.

You cannot directly use app specific code such as a Set(variable, set_to) in a component.

In order to make this working you need to add an input on the component, this can be a text but should be a behavior (only visable after change settings). Then in the OnSelect you want to call the input. Therefore you enter the component name followed by a . and the input name, it will look something like this: Component1.BehaviorInput.Text
don’t quote me on the .Text, that’s something I’ve to check.
once on the screen side of the app you use the component and fill in on the input of the component Set(variable, set_to).

I hope I’ve made it a bit clearer, I’ve you have any further questions please let me know.

kind regards

Here is how i made this working.

First in the setting set that item to true,
Than make a behaviour that I called OnSelectButton
Implement this in your OnSelect
On your screen side, there you can enter the Set() function.

I hope this is some more explaining with those images.

I think i see the issue. On your Set(gvRequestId, false) you set your gvRequestId to false so the text will be false. If you want to change te false to true and vise versa by clicking the button you can when you click OnStart of your app to Set(gvRequestId, starup variable) and on the OnButtonSelect Set(gvRequestId, !gvRequestId)

Ps. you have to reopen the app in order to make this workin, you're not the first to have that issue 😉

Kind regards
