Textbox not accepting blank value

Hi,

 

I have built two powerapps both of them use two seperate sharepoint lists as backend datasource. 

I have used 'Edit Form' control to edit & display data. These are auto generated controls from Forms

 

Powerapp 1:

 

The score field below accepts blanks & does not throw conversion error

Here are some other properties of the text box control

Powerapp 2:

The score field below does not accept blanks & throw conversion error I am not sure what is the issue as

Sharepoint list 2

  • Both the sharepoint lists have identical schema - Scores have been set as Text
  • Both the apps have same identical code text boxes are set to accept numbers

Not sure if this is an issue with app configuration (Apps are identical 😞 ) or sharepoint list itself.

 

Sorry for the very little information that I have provided but there is nothing much in the app. It has a edit form which has Sharepoint list set as datasource. All the app does is shows / updates sharepoint list through forms.

 

The app must allow blank to be saved but I don't understand why one app allows while the other doesn't.

Could someone please help me in figuring out this issue.

 

Regards,

_arc

    Change your code with this:

     

    IfError(Value(DataCardValue19_1.Text), Blank())

    Hi @_arc ,

     

    If it helps try below code.

     

    If(!IsBlank(DataCardValue19_1.Text),Value(DataCardValue19_1.Text),"")
