Hello,

I have a save button that is used for when the Form Mode is both in New or Edit.

I have code set on this to run a workflow after the item is saved to SharePoint. However I only need the workflow to run if the Form Mode is 'New' and not if Form Mode is 'Edit'.

I have tried using the below code to get this working however I am seeing an error in the app:

I can see that another parentheses is required but not sure where to put it - I'm not even sure if I've got the below right?

Would appreciate some help with this one.

SubmitForm(BuildingForm);

If(
 IsEmpty(Errors(DocData)),
 // ON SUCCESS
 Notify(
 "Success: Building item Saved/Updated",
 NotificationType.Success
 )
);

Set(varBuildingName, BuildingDD.Selected.Value);

UpdateContext({varCreateTopSubtop: true});

If(BuildingForm.Mode = FormMode.New; 'BSC-PowerApps-AutoCreateTopicsSubtopics'.Run(varBuildingName;)

@anandm08

Tried this but seeing the below - we're still missing a closing parentheses from after the If.

@anandm08 I've kind of got it working to the extent that there are no longer any validation errors in the code.

I have to make sure that when I save the form that the Form Mode is equal to New.

On my "New" button I have used the following code:

ResetForm(BuildingForm);NewForm(BuildingForm);Set(varGalDefault,Blank()); Set(varGalDefault,{}); // Set the display mode of the form to new BuildingForm.Mode = FormMode.New;

and then on the Save button I have used this:

SubmitForm(BuildingForm); If( IsEmpty(Errors(DocData)), // ON SUCCESS Notify( "Success: Building item Saved/Updated", NotificationType.Success ) ); Set(varBuildingName, BuildingDD.Selected.Value); Set(varFlowComplete, topSubTopCompletion.Text); If(BuildingForm.Mode = FormMode.New, UpdateContext({varCreateTopSubtop: true})); If( BuildingForm.Mode = FormMode.New, Set(flowResponse, 'BSC-PowerApps-AutoCreateTopicsSubtopics'.Run(varBuildingName)); topSubTopCompletion.Text = varFlowComplete; Refresh(TopicsClaims); Refresh(SubtopicArgEvi_1) )

The problem is that when I hit Save, the form is saved to the SharePoint list however, the modal dialog I have which tells the user that Topics and Subtopics are being created is not displayed - so my theory is that the Form Mode isn't being set to 'New' when I initially open the form on pressing the New button.
