Posted on by haider1

Hi,

Seeking your support for my scenario,

I have two buttons in custom Datacard ,both buttons are updating values in another list based on patch function and using form. updates in its Onselect property, I want when the current logging-in user clicks either of both buttons, the buttons will be disabled for him for the selected record (VarRecord) and of course, the buttons in the other record still on edit unless he clicks on

it.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
You will have to add a column that will be hidden (you can hide the column from your list view) named “dataSubmitted”
When patching you will have to set/save this column value dataSubmitted to yes.
On the edit form you can use below formula to disable the button on DisplayMode property -
If(ThisItem.dataSubmitted=“yes”, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

you must have a column the indicates if the button is enable or disable and another column for the user .

I just assumed that if the user access the same record again the button must be disabled. Otherwise you can create a local variable the become false on the button click and this variable must be in the Enable property in both buttons

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
but that will disable the button for all other users, I want to disable it only for the current login user.

Okay, then instead of saving "yes" value we should save current logged in user's email id
When patching you will have to set/save this column value dataSubmitted to User().Email.
On the edit form you can use below formula to disable the button on DisplayMode property -
If(ThisItem.dataSubmitted=User().Email, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

that's why I said you need two columns: one for button status(enable or disable) and other column for the users

The patch function has invalid arguments.

if you are not in a gallery, ThisItem will not work, so you need to you the Lookup function

patch(source, Lookup(source, source.ID = ID), {dataSubmitted: Use().Email})
