Behavior Function in a non-behavior property. Error

Posted on 24 Sep 2024 13:42:24 by Trout19 369
I am wanting to change the value of a text Value but I keep getting this error messages:
1)Behavior Function in a non-behavior property. You can't use this property to change values elsewhere in the app
2)Unexpected characters. The formula contains 'Control' where 'Indent' is expected. 
 
 
Is there something i am missing or is there another way to do this.

    Hi Trout19 ,

    Try to update the button behavior and value of text property with below step, it might help 

    1) Button (OnSelect)
         If(IsBlank(FormversionValue1), Set(FormversionValue1, 0))

    2) Lable (Text property)
        If(IsBlank(FormversionValue1), Parent.Default, FormversionValue1)


    If this post solved your issue, clicking 'Does this answer your question' will help others discover the solution and close the topic. If you found it helpful, a Like would be awesome!

    The Set()-function is used to initialize and change global variables. This can not be done from within a 'Value' property. What do you exactly want the value to be? If you want it to be 6 if FormversonValue1 is blank then it would be:
     
    If(IsBlank(FormversonValue1),6,Parent.Default)
