Inserting or Submitting Data without Using a Form

Posted on by Fraz_Ahmed

Hello Power Platform Pros,

As a beginner, I’ve learned that data can be collected using a form in Power Apps. However, I’m aiming for a different approach. Instead of using a form, I’d like to gather data by taking multiple inputs individually, and then include a Submit button at the bottom. When all the inputs are filled, I want the Submit button to save the data.

I’m struggling to find a solution to implement this, and would greatly appreciate it if the Power Platform Gurus could guide me. Additionally, I’d love to know which data platform I should connect with for this purpose.

Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @FA-27120653-0

Is there any reason why you don't want to use a form, as that would be the easiest way to save data?

If you want to gather data by taking multiple inputs individually, you would need to call the Patch function like so:

Patch( YourDataSource, Defaults(YourDataSource), { Field1: TextInput1.Text, Field2: TextInput2.Text, Field3: TextInput3.Text } )

To enable the save button only when mandatory fields are entered, you can add this to the DisplayMode property of the button.

If( IsBlank(TextInput1.Text) || IsBlank(TextInput2.Text) || IsBlank(TextInput3.Text), DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit )

In terms of what Data Platform to use, Patch will work with all popular data sources including SharePoint and Dataverse.
