I have a form with several required fields. The submit button uses the following code

If(FRM_CampaignForm.Valid, DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.Disabled)

This works fine. My problem is when I fill in the fields using a copied record stored in a global variable. I set the "Item" property of the form to the global variable. This fills in all the fields as expected including all of the required fields. However, the submit button doesn't shift into Edit mode. Why is this an how do I fix it?

Hi @futr_vision ,
To make sure the form validation is triggered and the submit button updates its state, you can force the form to revalidate itself after setting the item property.
1. Create a global variable:
Set(glbCopiedRecord, LookUp(SourceTable, ID = SelectedRecordID));
2. Set the form item property:
Item: glbCopiedRecord
3. Force revalidation:
Set(glbCopiedRecord, LookUp(SourceTable, ID = SelectedRecordID)); UpdateContext({varRevalidate: Now()});
4. Trigger validation
UpdateContext({varRevalidate: Now()});
5. Modify the Submit Button code:
If( FRM_CampaignForm.Valid && !IsBlank(glbCopiedRecord), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )
6. Make sure all the fields are validated
ForAll( ControlsOf(FRM_CampaignForm), Reset(ThisItem) );
