Editable Form Error

Posted on by fbuc94

Hello All,

So I am working on an application that has a form that is editable through a toggle switch. When the toggle switch is set to true, it makes my form editable but when its set to false, it makes my form accessible only in view mode. The form reads from a sharepoint list. However, when I first launch the powerapp, the toggle switch will default to off and the form is still editable. This only occurs when I first launch the app. If I toggle the switch on and off, it goes away and I don't run into that error again. Any advice on how to fix this error?

This can be done in 2 ways
First one is quite simple -
Set FormMode property of Form to below formula-
If(Toggle1.Value, FormMode.Edit, FormMode.View)
Second one is to use a variable to handle form's mode. OnAppStart or on visible of screen you can use the below formula -
Set(varFormMode, "View")
The formula that will go with toggle onChange -> If(Self.Value, Set(varFormMode, "Edit"), Set(varFormMode,"View"))
Default value of toggle will be false as you want the form to be view mode
In FormMode property of Form you can use - If(varFormMode="Edit", FormMode.Edit, FormMode.View)

Would the first solution be placed in the Item section? Sorry, fairly new to PowerApps

The first one can only be placed in Form's FormMode property as we are setting form mode in it.

So I gave this a try and am still having issues. The form is linked to an icon and when I press the icon for the first time, thats where the issue arises
