Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a PowerApps form with a couple of data cards that the user wants to be locked after the form is submitted, so that when someone goes back in, they can't edit the form. But there are basically two points when the form gets submitted, so I'm running into problems making that work.

The process is someone submits a form that has a toggle and a date field. These are hidden in the On New state. The user fills out the form and submits it.

Another user opens the form. Now the form is in Edit mode and the toggle and date field are visible. The user switches the toggle to yes to indicate that the review is complete and enters a date. Then Submits to save the form.

We would like for the toggle and the date field to be locked at that point so that the next time the form is opened they are either disabled or hidden (either is fine). Is there any way to do this?

Add 2 choice filed in your list.

Submitted and Reviewed. Both have 2 choices. Yes and No. Default value will be No. They can be hidden or visible in your form. It's up to you. Let's say in form they are DataCardValue1 and DataCardValue2.

Now, on your all other data cards in the displaymode property write

If(DataCardValue1.Selected.Value="Yes",DisplayMode.View,DisplayMode.Edit)

On your toggle and date datacard display mode property write the same code as above but with DataCardValue2.

Then whenever you submit a new form patch the "submitted" flag to Yes. So, in the edit form becuase of the code we wrote they will be locked. And when user submits the edit form for review patch the "review" flag to Yes. So, toggle and date field will be locked for that particular entry.
