Hi, I have a question with PowerApps and I hope you can help me with it.

So, I created an app that have a Gallery (Gallery1), that gallery have a text field (Txtfield1). On the same app page I have another text field (fieldX) outside the gallery that I want to have the text value from the Gallery1 - Txtfield1. At this point when I do search in the gallery, the text is populating from Txtfield1 to fieldX, BUT ONLY when I click on the Gallery, not automatically. is there a trick for that?

Note: the gallery data source is a SharePoint list (SPList) and the column data is column1. The Text for the fieldX is Txtfield1. I tried Lookup function but no luck.

Thank you for your help.

A gallery contains a table. The text field in your gallery (Txtfield1) contains whatever value for that given record. Notice there's a bunch of records in the gallery. This is why your field outside the gallery (fieldX) doesn't know what value Txtfield1 is, because Txtfield1 has many values, until you select it (that's how the label knows what Txtfield1 you're talking about). It's technically referencing Gallery1.Txtfield1.Selected.Columnnamehere.

To better assist you, what specifically are you trying to do, or display, outside the gallery? Why are you trying to show the same information in two places on the same screen? Perhaps you can skip the gallery all together and have the label just display whatever it is you're trying to display. Any extra info will help!

Thank you zmorek for the quick response.

I have a one-page org chart app that getting the users info from the AD like name, email, phone number and supervisor name. Now my agency needs to have a 2nd supervisor field (FieldX) in the org chart app, we do have this information on a SharePoint list (SPList) and the column is (column1). So I thought to grab this column text value and add it to my app, the way I did it is get the SharePoint list on that Gallery (gallery1) and the text box field which have the 2nd supervisor info is (Txtfield1), I did filter the gallery with the same search bar for the org chart and that works fine, I can see the item in the gallery that I searched for with the 2nd supervisor field, but only when click on the galley will populate the text to the (FieldX). Note that I will need to hide the gallery as I do not want to appear in the app. I hope that explanation is good enough, otherwise let me know. thank you,
