Hi,

Originally the item property of my form is = varRecord; and it's used for the gallery to link to the form. However, since I have split my form, I need to set the item property of that form with Defaults('DemandForm');

I tried to set the item property as varRecord; Defaults('DemandForm'); but there is an error. I would like to ask how to accommodate them if i need to keep both of them in the item property.

Thank you.

I may have miss interpreted the question, but could you not have both forms with the Item property of varRecord and then choose which fields you want to keep in each form?

my screen flow
Gallery --> Screen1 (form page 1) --> Screen 2 (form page 2)...etc
I think varRecord must be kept as it needs to show the details of the record selected in gallery. But at the same time, i also need to use defaults to temporary keep the form data.... so i think i need to keep both but i have no idea how to do it.

Thank you.

@thgtang ,

You do not need Defaults() unless the form is in New mode and then Power Apps does this for you automatically. varRecord (which I assume you have set when selecting the record from the gallery) will work in both View and Edit modes.
