When I save using SubmitForm the form shows the previous entry instead of the one just saved.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Community,

I have a PowerApp that is based on a simple SharepointForm. The first screen has a gallery called galLocations in which the user can select a previous entry or click on a "create new form" button that allows him to enter a new form on the second screen. The second screen contains the Form which as Item has galLocations.Selected.

The issue I have is that when I submit a newly created form through a save button with SubmitForm that the Form displays one of the previous records instead of the newly created form. This issue just appeared today in my app and I cannot find a suitable solution.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Tim

This is happening because after the form is submitted, it reverts to displaying the data from galLocations.Selected

In the form OnSuccess use the Back() function, then the user won't see the data after submit. The screen should navigate back to your Gallery page with the new data added to the gallery.

Thanks for your reply Chris-D. The only thing is that I want the user to use the save button as a temporary save ability. So that whilst the user is working on the form he/she can save in between whilst staying on the same page.

Do you know a way to achieve this?

Sure, create a record variable and point your form to that.

Gallery OnSelect:
UpdateContext({ FormData: ThisItem});

Form OnSuccess:
UpdateContext({ FormData: Self.LastSubmit});

Then point your form at FormData instead of galLocations.Selected
