Hi, If i got you right when you navigate to new screen you want to it only show fields in display mode.

Add new screen--> User FormViewer from Insert button.
Datasource of FormViewer --> add your SharePoint List.

If you want to display the records from previous page, if you have a gallery then set
Items property of FormViewer--> Gallery.selected

Let me know if this works.

Hi @Anonymous

In that case, pls add the following code on the "OnVisible" property of Screen where EditForm is placed, this will reset the form:

ResetForm(Form1);

Hi @Anonymous

We will take help of local variable to accomplish this. Please try the below steps:
1. On the "OnVisible" property of the screen where edit form is placed add the following line of code
UpdateContext({varFormMode:FormMode.View})

2.Next, the button which opens the form in edit mode should have the following code on the "OnSelect" property:
UpdateContext({varFormMode:FormMode.Edit})

3. finally, assign the variable to the DisplayMode property of form as mentioned below:
