Hi,

I have a blank horizontal gallery with two fields i.e TextInput and Button, and the Gallery's Item property is a Collection. (refer below image) The Collection has 2 columns HoursWorked and Notes.

When the User Clicks on the "Add Notes" button, a Dialog box is displayed where the User can enter Notes(refer pic below)

After the User Clicks OK, The note should be updated in the Collection. So the issue is I am not able to update the Notes in the collection.

Thanks.

Hi @MJK ,
Try
Patch( YourCollectionName, ThisItem, {Notes:YourNotesControlName.Text} )

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@MJK ,
On the OK button I can see below your notes, but I just realised that it is outside the gallery, so ThisItem will not work.
Instead, try YourGalleryName.Selected.
Patch( YourCollectionName, YourGalleryName.Selected, {Notes:YourNotesControlName.Text} )

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

The code works perfectly fine!

Just one question, if I use Update instead of Patch, I get an error - "Update has some invalid arguments". Why is that?

Hi @MJK ,
You could use UpdateIf with the ID from the gallery
UpdateIf( YourCollectionName, ID=YourGalleryName.Selected.ID, {Notes:YourNotesControlName.Text} )
I have not used Update for a while, but it involves replacing a record with another one.
