Field from database not possible to edit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 18

Hello everyone,

I don't understand why I can't edit a text field that I pull from a SQL database. The value of the field in the database is varchar(255).

I only get the option to display the elements as a possibility.

Here a Screenshot:

How do I get these additional options, such as edit, to make an input?

    Hi @azaterol,

    Do you want to edit the varchar field in a form?

     

    Actually, we could edit fields in an edit from, to achieve this, you should make the form in the edit mode.

    1). I will stronly suggest you add a Gallery to display all the records

    2). Set the OnSelect of the Gallery with:

    Navigate(EditForm1);EditForm(EditForm1)

    3). Set the Item property of the form as:

    Gallery1.Selected
