Hello

I have had no luck searching for an answer to this, so hope someone can help.

I have written a Canvas app that references 4 SharePoint Lists. One of these lists has "Lookup" values used in a ComboBox Control as its items [The Items are set to a collection. The Title column in the list I have renamed "Name" and removed the required setting. I can add this list to a collection as so; (On App Startup).

ClearCollect(colGroups,ShowColumns(Filter('PS - Lookups','Choice Type' = "Location"),'Location Group','Name (Title)'))
 

When I have come to write a new "admin" a screen where objects are added, or edited, I am having a problem.

When I try to add to a Gallery I get the Name column duplicated;

This then causes a problem if I want to then open a form on a selected item,

Gallery On Select is:

Navigate(PropertyServForm_EditLookup, ScreenTransition.None, {Name: ThisItem.'Name ({Title})'})

This does not work.

I have tried refreshing the data source, deleting and re-adding, but the duplication of Name (title) is still there.

Does anyone have any thoughts, or have seen this before?

Thank you

Stuart

Hello

I detached the list from the PA, deleted the list and recreated. Two names were still shown once the new list was connected.

As I cant find a solution, I have dropped the form idea, and have created a custom popup using Text boxes to edit the gallery items.

Thank you for your time on this.

Hello

This does not work.

Navigate(PropertyServForm_EditLookup, ScreenTransition.None, {Name: ThisItem.'Name (Title)'})

I still get the below on the form;

This is the field on the form,

NB: This does not work either;

Navigate(PropertyServForm_EditLookup, ScreenTransition.None, {Title: ThisItem.'Name (Title)'})

This is the gallery on the page before;

NB: This does not work either;

Navigate(PropertyServForm_EditLookup, ScreenTransition.None, {Title: ThisItem.'Name ({Name})'})

As indicated in my other post, there are two name columns that can be chosen for the gallery, this is weird.

I am wondering what is causing the name column to duplicate on the list of columns I can choose for the gallery.

Thanks

Just an observation here - naming a Variable the same as a field name is a recipe for ambiguity.

Hi Stuart74,

I just tried to replicate your issue. I change the title column to Name and made it not-required.

You just need to replace 'Name ({Title})'} with 'Name (Title)'

Use the below code and it should work fine for you.

Navigate( PropertyServForm_EditLookup, ScreenTransition.None, {Name: ThisItem.'Name (Title)'} )

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Nandit
