Hi,

Is there a way to display the value of datacardvalue1 in a text input that is displayed in browsegallery.

the idea would be that the user can edit this and submit it and make a change to the existing text, (if it existing text exists).

ive treid doing DataCardValue1 in the default property of the text input, however this displays the text from my one record in all my records in browsegallery. I need it to show the individual record text that could already exist.

thanks.

An EditForm only holds 1 record, whereas a gallery holds many records. This is why your TextInput shows the same value in all the TextInput fields in the gallery. You need a way to reference the one record you want to adjust.

You could try this

1. OnSelect of gallery item

Set( vRecord, ThisItem)

2. Set the Form Item to

vRecord

3. Default of the Text Input

If( vRecord.ID = ThisItem.ID, DataCardValue1.Text, ThisItem.yourTextFieldName )

@EddieE thanks for this.

I have this in my brwose gallery OnSelect --
Set(
gblRecordID,
ThisItem.ID
)

I already have this in my OnSelect Gallery TEXT INPUT --

Set(gblRecordID ,ThisItem)

and default of TEXT INPUT -
If( gblRecordID = ThisItem.ID, DataCardValue35_1.Text, "test")

and I have this in the item in my Edit Form

LookUp('Data Source',ID=gblRecordID)

can you help me adjust this?

I cannot see where the issue is with your code, can you share some screenshots of what is happening.

BrowseGallery1 - OnSelect .. This one may not be needed? Let me know.. i think i mistakenly put this here..

TextInput on browsegallery... : OnSelect - Error -

TextInput on browsegallery : Default - Error

DataCardValue35_1 is the datacard for the comment I want to show (if it exists already)

EditForm1_1 - Item Property

You are mixing up the variable gblRecordID - making it a single field and also a FULL record - with you various OnSelect code. You need to choose one or the other.

eg

// Browse gallery OnSelect Set( gblRecordID, ThisItem.ID); // TextInput OnSelect Select(Parent);

All your other code should work then.

@EddieE looks to be working but seems like the text only comes up when I click into the text input. Is there a way to just show it before clicking the input box?

What is the Default of the TextInput control? It should be something like

If( gblRecordID = ThisItem.ID, DataCardValue35_1.Text, ThisItem.Comment) // change .Comment to your field name

@EddieE i deleted teh box and reinserted.. I seem to be able to get all the values for each record doing this in default of the text input -

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'Field Comment'), "Write a comment after marking as complete.", ThisItem.'Field Comment')

results look okay -
