How do I change the format of a text field but preserve the parent.default property

I have a field where I set up the OnChange property to the following.

UpdateContext({varCurrency: Text(Value(TXT_Budget.Text), "[$-en-US]$#,##0.00")})

Then in the Default property I use varCurrency.

My problem is that when I click a copy button I can't populate the field with Parent.Default. At least I haven't figured out how. The easiest way is to ditch the code to 'paint' the value into a currency value but it nice to have.

Hi @futr_vision ,

You can use the 'If' function to determine whether to display the formatted currency value or the 'Parent.Default' value based on a condition. For ex. on the 'OnSelect' property of the 'CopyButton':
UpdateContext({varUseDefault: true});
Then in the 'OnChange' property of the 'TXT_Budget' text field:
UpdateContext({ varCurrency: Text(Value(TXT_Budget.Text), "[$-en-US]$#,##0.00"), varUseDefault: false });
And the 'default' property of that text field:
If( varUseDefault, Parent.Default, varCurrency )

If I answered your question, please accept my post as a solution and if you liked my response, please give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!

I'll need to try this but does this preserve the formatting for Parent.Default?
