How to stop user to submit form if nothing is been edited

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MIA27 2

I am working on Power app for teams.

 

I have Tick mark icon under which on select property I am using the below code:

SubmitForm(SupportEditForm);ResetForm(SupportEditForm)
 
Some time user click even if he has done no changes on the edit form.
 
I want the code not to run , if there is no edit been done OR no changes has been done  on the edit form.
It should only only run if the form is new or available data has been edited
 
Please guide what additional collection of code to be done to achieve this.

    Thank you at last.... It worked. Successfully.

    As the Form1 DefaultMode = FormMode.View, So wanted any time user click, what ever the action to happen must be pushed to view mode. so if need they will click edit button again.

     

    Below code worked successfully, tested several time it working 100% perfect. If edited saves and reset, if not edited it produces notify and reset.

     

    Set(gblvar_Record, Gallery1.Selected);
If(
 Or(
 gblvar_Record.SerialNo <> DataCardValue1.Value, 
 gblvar_Record.JobAmt <> Value(DataCardValue2.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.LineNo <> Value(DataCardValue3.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.Model <> DataCardValue4.Value 
 ),
SubmitForm(Form1);
ResetForm(Form1),
ResetForm(Form1);Notify("No Save Rquired as no Edit done",NotificationType.Information,2000)
)

    Hi @MIA27 , we are already doing that on the OnSelect of Gallery. You can try this 

    Set(gblvar_Record, GalleryName.Selected);
If(
 Or(
 gblvar_Record.SerialNo <> DataCardValue1.Value, 
 gblvar_Record.JobAmt <> Value(DataCardValue2.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.LineNo <> Value(DataCardValue3.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.Model <> DataCardValue4.Value 
 ),
SubmitForm(Form1);
ResetForm(Form1),
Notify("No Save Rquired as no Edit done",NotificationType.Information,2000)
)

    This is pretty straight forward option. As I cant see your screen and not sure how your code is linked, it is difficult for me.

     

    The suggestion that I gave is based on best practice.

    I checked all the labels in the gallery on select is set  Select(Parent)

     

    What is making me worry - the unsure of the working of code, that 3 times worked, 1 time failed, some time worked and some time fails.

     

    Is there any way that after running the Tick button code, every time it will reload the selected gallery value to gblvar_Record. I mean we can some add some  line of code along with other code of the Tickmark icon code, so once user click, what ever the result, it will reload the var.

     

    please guide

    Hi @MIA27 , Make sure to set the OnSelect property of all controls within left side gallery to Select(Parent).

    Yes, I am using the correct name, 

    I am testing it another screen, if success i will apply on the main required screen.

     

    Testing further found, its working some time and some time not.

    I suspect the failure is happening on the gallery on select property, it is not able to read all the time, 

    during test found, 

    I edited, saved, it worked for save.

    Then next record , selected, click on the form, this also saved, while no edit has been done

    Then moved to next select on the gallery, same it saved, while no edit done

    Then moved to next item in gallery, no edit done, this time message appears of notify.

     

    worried to apply such un sure method,

     

    Please advise

    Hi @MIA27 , The code looks good to me. You need to troubleshoot by checking one by one statement within Or() condition whether it is true or not.

     

    Also, hope you are using correct form name:

    SubmitForm(SupportEditForm);

    ResetForm(SupportEditForm)

    If(
 Or(
 gblvar_Record.SerialNo <> DataCardValue1.Value, 
 gblvar_Record.JobAmt <> Value(DataCardValue2.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.LineNo <> Value(DataCardValue3.Text), 
 gblvar_Record.Model <> DataCardValue4.Value 
 ),
SubmitForm(Form1);
ResetForm(Form1),
Notify("No Save Rquired as no Edit done",NotificationType.Information,2000)
)
