Multi page Form Help

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I hope my situation makes sense here.

I've created a multi-screen form in PowerApps. On the first page, I have a display gallery, where other users can view the records that they submitted. On the last page, I used the patch function on the submit button and it works but, when I test out the "edit function" the first page of the edit form is blank, but the rest of the edit forms (3-11) have the actual previously inputted data in them and allows for editing.

Can someone help!

Thanks!

Hi, @WarrenBelz !

The DataSource is a SharePoint List called Demo 2

The Item for each edit form is Defaults('Demo_2')

The Save/Submit function is Patch('Demo_2', Defaults('Demo_2'), Form1.Updates, From2.Updates...Form9.Updates) ; Navigate(End,ScreenTransition.CoverRight)

@Anonymous ,

You cannot use an Edit form with Defaults('Demo 2') as the Item - it will always be blank.

You need to tell the form which record to display. If you have a gallery showing your records, it can be

YourGalleryName.Selected

You could also set a reference on the Patch

Set( varID, Patch( 'Demo_2', Defaults('Demo_2'), Form1.Updates ).ID )

Then your Edit form Item would be

LookUp( 'Demo 2', ID=varID )

Hi @WarrenBelz!

I now have another problem.

I have an "add new record button" on the page of the app, however, when I run my test the rest of the app, now all of the edit forms now show the previous record rather than being blank.

The OnSelect code is NewForm(Form1);Navigate(Demographics, ScreenTransition.Fade).

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

That code will simply produce a new record form, which will be blank until you input data.

The previous code I supplied will show this record in the next form as long as you use the Patch code mentioned.

Why are you expecting blank edit forms?

Hi @WarrenBelz,

Well, I need the form to be blank when the user is adding a new record and I need the form to pull the selected record when they need to edit/add something to the record.

For some reason, I went back and set the default form mode to new but it isn't blank when starting a new record.

Thanks again!

What code are you using to open the form.

A new form should be

NewForm(YourFormName)

and the edit form

EditForm(YourFormName)

the New Mode will be blank and the Edit Mode will display whatever record you have set in the Default.
What is different in yours?

Well @WarrenBelz ,

To start the form I just have this code for the first page of the form:

NewForm(Demo);Navigate(Demographics, ScreenTransition.Fade)

Then to edit the form:

EditForm(Demo);EditForm(Dets);EditForm(InsQs);EditForm(TransQs);EditForm(CommQs);EditForm(CompQs);EditForm(PhysQs);EditForm(TeatQs);EditForm (NaviNotes);Navigate(Demographics,ScreenTransition.Fade)
