Posted on by PapithaSekar

I have build the app from blank canvas and connected to data source. I don't have browse gallery in my app.

I want employee to register the detail and view their profile and edit the details.

I added form to each screen.

Item property = 'Defaults.EmpReg' .

To get the data registered to view employee profile

updated text property = Emp_Edit.LastSubmit.Title

When editing existing detail, its adding new record in the sharepoint list, not updating the existing value.

I dont know where am going wrong. Please help me.

Hi @PapithaSekar ,

I see this is the default app you get when you create App on a list and then you are trying to extend the functionality. If so, please ensure that editform Item property is BrowseGallery1.Selected on the previous screen.
See the below:

Hi @PapithaSekar ,

1. In your edit form select the Title and then on your left pane select the Form where that Item control is under.
2. Now select the From and the item property of the select
3. Ensure that item is something as below
Item: <<some gallery name>>.selected
4. Now ensure that FORM DefaultMode property is DisplayMode.Edit if not rename it as so.
If you still see any further issue please reply with the screenshots of all the steps I mentioned above on this thread I can help you further.

Hi There,

I'm having the same issue where I'm trying to only get the existing records updated in Powerapps gallery grid, but everytime I make an update, new records are being created at the same time. Below is the update statement I use:

If(
varGridEdit,
Patch(
PSRA_Events_Response_Form,
colGridData
));
Notify(
"Form Data Updated",
NotificationType.Success,
2000
);
Select(btnLoadData);
Set(
varGridEdit,
!varGridEdit
)

Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
