Button Collects partial data and navigate to the new form?

Hello. I have an app where the new button collects the user name and the time and date. Currently the button populates a new entry in the gallery and to add more details the user needs to then select the item in the gallery and then edit.

How do I set the button to continue to collect that information but also navigate directly to the edit screen for that entry?

My button formula for OnSelect is:

Patch(IR, {Title: User().FullName, 'Incident Date and Time': Now()})

I tried adding ; Navigate(EditScreen1) but that seems to not work all the time. Sometimes it navigates to the new form and sometimes it navigates to another completed form.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Please use a form as New. Update the title and incident date and time as a default value. You can add other fields to populate data and save it.
While patching the collection and opening the form, I suspect it must open the old selected gallery item and show it to you on the next screen.

SO once you patch, your gallery needs to be refreshed and the updated record needs to be selected while navigating to the next screen. I will suggest breaking the action into 2 sections and achieve it.

I'm fairly new to this. How would that look as a formula?

I am sorry @Anonymous
I suggested creating a form to populate the values and then save them. In the Form view, you can add the default values to fields "Title" and "Incident Date and Time".
The Form will also help you to populate other field values. Save everything by submitting the Form. check the below video. hope it will help. 🙂
