Populate a view form with the most recent submission

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 26
Hello,
 
I am trying to have a Powerapps form display the most recently submitted form (from the previous screen).
 
I have a SharePoint list created that is connected to Powerapps. On my home screen I have the user enter data into a few fields and submit with a button which takes them to a second screen. On the second screen I want to display the same exact form that was just submitted.

On the second screen I have a form that is in view mode and the "Item" value is set to 'FormName'.LastSubmit
This gives an error and says "Name isn't valid. LastSubmit isn't recognized". I've seen this solution work elsewhere so I'm wondering what went wrong and how to debug this problem.

    Hi,
     
    Here is what you do.
     
    In your Forms OnSuccess property do this.
     
    Navigate(Screen2, Transition.None, { _FormRecord: FormName.LastSubmit });
     
    This will pass the record to your form two on screen 2.
     
    In the Form2 make sure the DataSource is the Same as Form 1/screen 1
     
    And in the Item properly just put _FormRecord
     
    Which is the Context Variable (not global) you passed it from the original screen and form.
     
    And done.
