(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sanrajbhar 42

I am dealing with table1.LastSubmit.ID, NewForm and submit data on two table to sql server.

so in case EditForm, it should take id(autonumber)(from table1) and saved it table2. in case  FormNew(table1) I am using table1.LastSubmit.ID which works fine. 

 

how do I do condition to apply if editform then take existing id from form(table1)  and incase of new records take table1.LastSubmit.ID

 

I am using SubmitForm; Patch(table2,deafults(table2,{id:table1.LastSubmit.ID}) works fine. but want to apply condition like above.

    Hi @sanrajbhar

     

    The best way to test the whether a user is editing or adding a new record is to check the mode property of the form.

     

    Your edit form will have an Item property, and this will be set to something like BrowseGallery1.Selected. You can call the ID property of this to retrieve the ID of the record that a user is editing. You code would look something like this:

     

    SubmitForm; 
If(EditForm1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, 
 Patch(table2,Defaults(table2,{id:BrowseGallery1.Selected}), 
 Patch(table2,Defaults(table2,{id:table1.LastSubmit.ID})
)
