+1 to a fields number when pressing a button

Hi all,

I am developing an application, where it is really important to understand how many times the editform has been saved. However, I have two save buttons in my editform, one that merely saves the data that has been stored in the form, but stays on the page, and another, which saves and takes the user to the mainpage.

I would only like to have the latter add a number, hence I tried the below formula in the Update Property of the datacard. But that does not seem to work:

If(KaydetAndExit.Pressed, Value(ThisItem.EditCount) + 1,EditCountDataCard.Text)

The below functions works for whenever a person saves the editform, however, the problem is users might save the form often if they go for a break etc. But we only want them to have a number added when the final form is finished and the Save+GoMainPage gets clicked.

If(Form1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, Value(ThisItem.EditCount) + 1, Form1.Mode =New, Value(ThisItem.EditCount) + 1,EditCountDataCard.Text)

Hi @Anonymous ,
Firstly the edit bit that works - I assume this is on the Update property of the card
If( Form1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, Value( ThisItem.EditCount ) + 1, Form1.Mode =New, Value( ThisItem.EditCount ) + 1, EditCountDataCard.Text )
So what you need to know is if the user has saved on the screen and if they come back to the screen and save again, it will not add another to the count.
So if you set a context variable to the save button
UpdateContext({vSaved:true})
it will set this on the first save - the Update of the card could then be
If( !vSaved && Form1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, Value( ThisItem.EditCount ) + 1, !vSaved && Form1.Mode =New, Value( ThisItem.EditCount ) + 1, EditCountDataCard.Text )
Would this work for you?
