Retrieve a field from a Form two screens later

Good Afternoon,

I've got a problem with some field, that I cannot manage to retrieve.

I've got in Screen1 a NewForm(Form1) linked to the entity Contact in dynamics 365.

In this Form1, I have the contactid (DataCard1) of my entity (who is at first empty, because I haven't submitted my Form)

Then two screens later, let's say Screen3, I SubmitForm(Form1) ; and now I need to store my Contactid in a Collection. And I cannot manage to give the good name such that, PowerApps recognize that I want the contactid of my lastSubmitted Form.

Do you have any idea ?
I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work....

Thanks a lot

Sabrina

Hi @Sabvalbra I haven't tried exactly what you are saying but my first thought is have you considered storing that ID in a global variable when you leave screen1? That way you would have that value easily accessible? There may be a better way but without digging into the details my first thought is a variable sorts you out pretty easily.

Hey @Sabvalbra, I believe you might be able to use the "LastSubmit" property of the form control like so...

Form1.LastSubmit.ID
The "LastSubmit" property grabs all of the data you sent via SubmitForm.

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Good Afternoon,

And thank you for your so quick answers.

@Shanescows
I've already tried this solution and the problem is that before I submit the "Form1", the "contactid" doesn't have a value. So I cannot store it on Screen1. And then on Screen3, when I submit Form1, I would like to recuparate the "contactid", but I cannot manage to retrieve it...

@mabolan
That's strange, because with your solution, it works only once on two. Don't know why... Maybe I need a refresh or something...
I cannot find...

Here you can see on the CRM that it works once on two (when it is (Pas de nom), it's correct)
And the other half of the time I get the error :

Here is my code :

Hope you have an idea...

I'm triying things but for the moment, unsuccessful
