Hello all,

I am not sure why its doing it but everytime I submit a new entry via form, the form reverts the FormMode to Edit. Is this a normal behaviour?

Thanks!

I do have a New button that uses NewForm(Form2) on select. Now, I can fill out that form presented as new, but after I hit the submit button, my sharepoint will be updated with correct data. However, the form reverts the mode from FormMode.New to FormMode.Edit. I manage to see this as I have created a text that shows the form mode.
This is an issue as I have some If statements that looks at formmode. Reverting the form to Edit screws on other functions I have... I appreciate the assistace

Essentially...yes this is expected functionality of SubmitForm.

Easiest way, in my opnion, is to use patch. So, on the submit button "OnPress" something along the lines of:
Patch( <SharePoint List>, Defaults(SharePoint List), Form.Updates ); ReestForm(Form);
This should submit the data to the SharePoint list all the same, and then reset the form to handle a new entry, always keeping it as FormMode.New.

If that doesn't work, you can use variables to set the form mode, which I can walk you through as well if you'd like.

Hope that helps!
