Hello,

Hope all is well. I have an issue. However you see, there are 2 boxes that I want to auto populate them in other pages. There is location and report date which I want them to be automatically populated to other pages such as operations and transportation. I want to make the app easier to use for customers and when they pick the date and location on home page, become automatically populated to other pages. I tried tons of formulas but none of them work. Can you please help me with?

I will really appreciate you guys.

Use variables, ie
// for Location Set( vLoc, Dropdown1.Selected.Location) // change this to the name of your dropdown and field name

... and
// for Report Date Set( vReportDate, DatePicker1.SelectedDate) // change to your DatePicker name)

Put the above formulas on the OnChange properties of your DropDown and DatePicker. You can then use these variables anywhere throughout your app, eg filtering a gallery on another screen, setting a Label Text, etc

Hi @Anonymous,

Have you solved your problem?

Do you want to click the Operation button to navigate to the Operation related page and populate the selected date into a Label or some other control?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

I think you should set the Operation Button OnSelect property as below:

Set(ReportDate,DatePicker1.SelectedDate);Navigate(OperationPageScreen)

set the Transportation Button OnSelect property as below:

Set(Transportation,Dropdown.Selected.Value);//Here depends on how you set the Items of the Dropdown Navigate(TransportationPageScreen)

Then on the Operation screen and Transportation screen, populate a Label or a TextInput Default property with the two variables represently.
