Unexpected Behavior in Table Modern Control

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by luca 9

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with the OnSelect property on a table control in my PowerApps app, and I'd appreciate any help or insights.

I have an OnSelect action on a modern table control that sets a variable and then navigates to another screen.

This has worked fine until recently. Now, when a user selects an item in the table and navigates to the new screen, if they go back to the original screen with the table, they are immediately redirected to the other screen again.

It seems like the table's OnSelect is automatically triggering when they return to the screen.

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what might be causing it? 

Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi  luca 
    A lot of Modern controls experience unexpected behaviour and most are still in preview. I have not turned them on yet for any production apps. If you want reliability and consistency presently, I suggest you revert to Classic controls.

    Unexpected Behavior in Table Modern Control
    Hello Luca,

    I have same issue as well. It seems that the problem is with the OnSelect action on the modern table. As a temporary solution, I have added a button to navigate to another screen, which has resolved the issue for now.

    I think I found a fix/workaround!
    From what I can tell, it all has to do with refreshing the table, so this is my code....
     
    <CODE>
    //TableLost.Onselect    (Working)
    Set(varItem, TableLost.Selected);
    Refresh(nfLCRLog);
    Reset(TextInputCanvas1);
    Set(varRequestSubmittedButton, false);
    If(varAdmin, EditForm(ApprovalForm1), ViewForm(ApprovalForm1));
    Navigate(FormScreen, ScreenTransition.Fade)
    </CODE>
     
    Refreshing the table before navigation clears the TableLost.Selected value. Resetting any search input textbox before navigation prevents old values from remaining on return.
     
    <CODE>
    //FormScreen.ReturnButton.OnSelect   (Working)
    ResetForm(ApprovalForm1); Navigate(HomeScreen, ScreenTransition.Fade)
    </CODE>
     
    The return button doesn't need to call refresh because we did that before we left. In addition, this clears up any "double flashing" of the table due to refreshing a table that is in view. As a note.... I'm using Named Formulas to hold the table name, so that may be a factor.
     
    Sorry so sloppy, I couldn't get the code insert to work so I figured this was the next safest bet.
