Hi,

I am creating an app where a client who inputs information of a candidate into multiple text inputs, they then can save this data into a collection to be stored. What I want to do is to be able to load that information back into the text inputs in case they don't finish writing down all the candidates information or want too edit the information.

So does anyone have knowledge on how to load data saved in a collection back into a text input.

Hi @Jamaal_Simpson,

Could you please tell me that if there is any time stamp in your collection to retrieve the record?

Do you want to display the unfinished record in the Textinput?

Not sure if you are using an edit grid of gallery to input info, if so, I think you could load the data within the Gallery by created time descending, which you will always have the last created record in the first row. Just insert the text input to the Gallery and set the Items property with

Sort(Collection,CreatedTime,Descending)

Or if you just have standalone TextInput controls, you could load the field value one by one. Set the TextInput with:

Last(Collection).Field1

Just retrieve the filed value by replacing the Field1 with other field name.
