Change variable after clicking a button - error

Hi,

Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this specific code?

I would like to make an app, where the user must go through a few questions in one screen, and every time he clicks "successful", he should be moved to the next question (i made a variable ValTask which should change to the next question every time the user clicks the button).

I would like the variable to change and store the answer in a spreadsheet when the user clicks on the "successful" button, and my idea is for the variable to be changed every time he clicks the button, so after clicking question one it will change to 2, after question 2 it will change to 3, etc.

Could you advise me on what is wrong with my code? or just suggest some other solution if possible. Thank you for your time!

Hi @pal95 ,
Assuming that INSTALL is a Single Line of Text in your data source, try this
If( ValTask = "Install" , Patch(FacilitiesList, ValFacility, {’Install': "DONE"}); Set(ValTask, "Raise on Lower Flyet Ball"), . . . . . .
also if this is not the issue, try Install without the quotes''

Hi @pal95 ,

Do you want to change a field's value everytime you click the button by using variable?

Please notice these points:
1)Variable value will restart every time you reopen this app. It will be blank when you start the app. How do you set this variable at the beginning?

2)What does valfacility represent? how do you set? The second parameter of Patch function should be an existing record in the data source.

I assume that valfacility is a record that you set as variable.

If so, you should set like this:

1)set the app's OnStart:

Set(ValFacility,LookUp(FacilitiesList,....));//set a record as this variable, please fill in condition in the ... part Set(ValTask, Not(ValFacility.Install="Done"),"Install" ValFacility.Install="Done"&&Not(ValFacility.'Raise or Lower Flygt Ball'="Done"),"Raise or Lower Flygt Ball", ValFacility.'Raise or Lower Flygt Ball'="Done"&&Not(ValFacility.'Modify for failsafe operation'="Done"),"Modify for failsafe operation",, ValFacility.'Modify for failsafe operation'="Done"&&Not(ValFacility.'Install IS Barriers'="Done"),""Install IS Barriers", ValFacility.'Install IS Barriers'="Done"&&Not(ValFacility.'Fix IS Barriers'="Done"),"Fix IS Barriers", ValFacility.'Fix IS Barriers'="Done","All is Done" )

//you need to set this variable's value based on data base every time you open this app

3)the button's OnSelect:

If(ValTask="InStall",Patch(FacilitiesList,ValFacility,{Install:"Done"}), ValTask="...",Patch(FacilitiesList,ValFacility,{...:"Done"}), ValTask="....",Patch(FacilitiesList,ValFacility,{...:"Done"}), ValTask="....",Patch(FacilitiesList,ValFacility,{...:"Done"}), ValTask="....",Patch(FacilitiesList,ValFacility,{...:"Done"}), ValTask="All is Done",Notify("This task has been completed!",NotificationType.Warning) )

//update data source based on variable value

Best regards,
