I need to check a condition and stop execution if that condition is met.
I found this as example :
Solved: How to control formula execution in powerapps? - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

If(
 YourNegativeCondition,
 Notify("YourNotification",NotificationType.Error),
 CarryOnWithWhatever . . .
)

Not sure to have understand it, because i can use only a statement in the If condition per branch.
So the CarryonWithWhatever must be a single instruction. How can i achieve that if i neet to insert multple function in the CarryOnWithWhatever?

Eg of my CarryOnWithWhatever :

SubmitForm(Form1);;
If(IsBlank(Form1.Error);Reset(myControl1));;
If(IsBlank(Form1.Error);Reset(myControl2))

I would avoid to set a localContext boolean and then proceed with many if line one for each instruciton

Hi @Simone_01 ,

If I understand correctly you want to execute multiple formulas in the context of an If function.

For that you can use chaining, in your case that's the ';;" operator:

SubmitForm(Form1);; If( IsBlank(Form1.Error); Reset(myControl1);; Reset(myControl2) );;

With the above, after Form1 has been submitted without errors, both myControl1 and myControl2 will be reset.

So basically i have missunderstood and it's actually possible to put more than one instruciton per branch of the if condition, using ';;' instead of ';'

Thanks a lot

Hi @Simone_01 ,

Indeed this is possible.

A thing to note that, depending on your language settings the operators are different:

If you use a comma ',' to separate arguments in a function call, the operator use for chaining is a single semicolon ';'.

However if you use a single semicolon ';' to separate arguments, as is the case with you, the operator to use for chaining is a double semicolon ';;'.
