Formula not working for me

Posted on by tahir2944 2

Hi,

 

Problem Statement: In a SharePoint list, I am customzing a form. I want certain validations for onSave event. Like whenever a user clicks on save button, if a toggle is checked, attachments will be mandatory for him to upload.   

 

I tried executing the following formula on onSave event of powerapps:

 

If(_checkedToggleCount> 0 && IsEmpty(DataCardValue69.Attachments), Set(warningText, "Attachments Missing"), _checkedToggleCount= 0, SubmitForm(SharePointForm1) )

If a user clicks on save without uploading an attachment, a label is updated with the correct text.( first part of the formula),

But then if user tries to upload attachment and save the item still the item is not saved. 

 

I have just started with powerapps formuals, any idea where I could be going wrong?

    Hi,

     

    Could you please explain a bit for the parameter used in your formula?

    If(_checkedToggleCount> 0 && IsEmpty(DataCardValue69.Attachments), Set(warningText, "Attachments Missing"), _checkedToggleCount= 0, SubmitForm(SharePointForm1) )

    Specially for _checkedToggleCount, and the DataCardValue69.Attachments?

    By the way, what is the meaning of "

    _checkedToggleCount= 0

    "?

    I don't think it will work if you want to set the value to 0 for _checkedToggleCount.

    The value should be updated by UpdateContext() or the set() function.

     

    I suspect the issue here should be mostly related to the _checkedToggleCount.

     

    Regards,

    Michael
