Hello.

I have an edit form reading from a SPO list.

I have a column called Owner and a choice column called Status and a few other columns too.

I need it so that only the Owner can change the Status. If a non-owner opens the edit form for that item, then they should receive an error message if they try to edit any of the columns. I beleive i can get the person who is loading the form via the

User().Email ?

I tried to do something like the below on the status datacard, but no luck

If(Owner.text = user().email, set(displayMode.Edit) else set(displayMode.View) That line of code didnt work - but i hope you get the jist of what i am trying to do, also, how can i add a warning if a non owner tried to edit?

Can someone help me pleasE?

thanks.

What values do you have in the Status column, emails?

If possible show a screen shot of the sample data

Hello.
I have got this to work via the code below

If(
Lower(DataCardValue4_1.Selected.Email) = Lower(User().Email),
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.Disabled
)

What i need now is to say, if the Data Mode is disabled, i need a warning message to say "This field is disabled because you are now the owner) . How can that be acheived?

Try this:

If(
Lower(DataCardValue4_1.Selected.Email) = Lower(User().Email),
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.Disabled
);Notify("This field is disabled")

Not sure where the code is located but your Notify function will work.

Notify function in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs
