New error message in PowerApps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 36

I have had a PowerApp in operation for over a year and it works fine. But now I suddenly have an error message with a datacard that I don't understand. 

 

In a datacard, the app is supposed to check wether the email address entered (by people picker) corresponds to the email address of the current user. I have therefir used the following formula in the error message of the datacard:

Now this formula is shown to me as incorrect. The reason: "Regular expressions must be constand values".

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Many thanks for the support!

    The IsMatch() function is meant to be used with a Regular Expression; it does not determine equivalence between two strings. Try this instead:

    Coalesce(
     Parent.Error;
     If(
     !IsBlank(DataCardValue5_1.Selected) &&
     Lower(Trim(DataCardValue5_1.Selected.Email)) = Lower(Trim(User().Email))
     ;
     // Warning message here
     )
    )

    Hope that helps,

    Bryan
