Conditional Requirement based on Gallery Value/Form Viewer

Posted on by kayakingaway

Hello,

I have a page in which an approver can see the individual's entry on a gallery/form viewer. They have an accept or decline and a comments field. Based on one of the fields in the form viewer, I would like the comments field to be required. The type the Datacardvalue 16_1 is a combo box.

I have tried several variations of

If((DataCardValue16_1.SelectedItems= "Convenience", true, false))

If((DataCardValue16_1.Text= "Convenience", true, false))

If((DataCardValue16_1.Selected.Value= "Convenience", true, false))

I can't seem to get it down to having no errors. I keep running into an incompatible types for comparison error. Any ideas? Thinking it must be the format of the .select .text, etc. As I have several other If statements in the app but when referring to the info in the form viewer, it isn't seeming to work. Any help is appreciated!!

Hi @kayakingaway,

Could you try the following code in the Required property of the Comments DataCard:

DataCardValue16_1.Selected.Value = "Convenience"

You can get the selected Choice by using comboboxName.Selected. If you want to compare it to text, you will have to add .Value at the end as well. An if statement in this case is not needed since the code above will have true or false as an output. However, If() statements only require 1 pair of brackets - your last if statement was the correct one (combobox value wise) and should look as follows:

If(DataCardValue16_1.Selected.Value = "Convenience", true, false)

As said, if statements that have true or false as a response are redundant and can be left out.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

Thanks!
