How to manually create an "edit form"?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 241

I'm effectively trying to recreate an "edit form" within my app, but I can't quite figure out how the form connects to the gallery item the user selects.

 

My form has a gallery that allows the user to select an item to edit then submit. I'm using a template application as a guide on how the gallery item data should be pushed into the edit form. The template app has a "select" button on the gallery item with an onselect as Select(Parent).

 

The gallery itself has an onselect as Navigate(DetailScreen1, ScreenTransition.None). The datacards in the ediform (DetailScreen1) have datacardvalues as Parent.Default

 

I've set my gallery up as below, with 2 buttons. How can I set it up to mimic the template app? I want users to for example select "View/Edit" on an item, which will pull all the data from that item into an editable form. Once they hit submit I assume I should use a patch function to alter the items data (stored in a sharepoint list)?

    On the Item property of the edit form, put :

     

    Gallery1.Selected

     

    Change Gallery1 to your actual Gallery name
