Hi fam, I'm a first time user of powerapps and been absolutely stumped with why the in-built editform action does not bring the all of the original submitted form data across. Could you please point me in the right direction of how to have checkboxes selected in the editform if they were selected previously and saved? My understanding is that the Parent.Default Data item brings the previously submitted data across, but this item doesn't seem to work for checkboxes? screenshots below.
Image 1: User selects the edit icon and OnSelect action is initiated
Image 2: User is taken to form where all previous parent.default values have been posted except for checkbox items.
The above checkboxes were selected in the previous submission and come through in the excel data table as "Y" values denoting that the checkboxes were selected and information was saved correctly, however this does not come back through to the form when seeking to edit the information in Power App.
The checkbox control in PowerApps is either true or false. Your data is text. To set the checkbox default:
Parent.Default = "Y"
Will reduce to either true or false.
Set the update property of the card to:
If(Checkbox1.Value, "Y", "N")
