Hi all,

I have a form in power apps with the following 3 buttons

save as draft - Click this as it sets the status to draft

Submit - Click this as it sets the status to submitted

Save - Click this I only want to save any updates to the form

However everytime I click save it updates the form but keep setting my status to "Draft" and I guess its because of the following added to my status data card

Update - If(locIsSubmit,{Value:"Submitted"},{Value:"Draft"})

How can I adjust this to work so that when I click save it doesn't default to draft?

Thanks

Hi @Matt2024

I would suggest to create a new variable locIsSave, and set its value to true when the "Save" button is clicked and false otherwise.

Then try this code:

If( locIsSubmit, {Value:"Submitted"}, If( locIsSave, {Value:"Current Status"}, {Value:"Draft"} ) )

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

@SpongYe I tried the following but no luck

If(
locIsSubmit,
{Value:"Submitted"},
If(
locIsSave,
{Value:"ThisItem.'Request Status'.Value"},
{Value:"Draft"}
)
)

That means that both variables locIsSubmit and locIsSave are false.
Try something like:

Set(locIsSubmit, true); //maybe your using UpdateContext please adjust the variable. If( locIsSubmit, {Value:"Submitted"}, If( locIsSave, {Value:"ThisItem.'Request Status'.Value"}, {Value:"Draft"} ) )

Now the Status should be Submitted.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

@SpongYe

Thanks for getting back to me, I tried the the above however even if I edit my status to rejected and click save I just get the this item.request output and not the actual status

How can I have it so if I click save it will save what ever the approver has selected in the request status drop down?

Thanks

Hi please find the code for my 3 buttons

Save as draft - UpdateContext({locIsSubmit:false}); SubmitForm(Form1)
Submit - UpdateContext({locIsSubmit:true}); SubmitForm(Form1)
Save/update - UpdateContext({locIsSave:true}); SubmitForm(Form1)

Below is my status field

If(
locIsSubmit,
{Value:"Submitted"},
If(
locIsSave,
{Value:"Current Status"},
{Value:"Draft"}
)
)
