Using the Back formula to return to previous screen, creates a new form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 519

Hello,

I have an app where I want users to save as they go along, be presented with a thank you message and continue filling out the form they have on the screen.  On my save button, it navigates to the thank you screen and shows the message and all relevant instructions, which works well.  There is a button on that screen that says Return to previous screen, and on that button select, it returns to a blank form, and not the form the user was initially filling out.  Please note:  I am using PowerApps customize forms embedded on a SharePoint page, and not an actual full PowerApp.  The formula on the return to previous screen is just Back().  I am not sure what I am missing, but any assistance appreciated.

    @joshieboy - could you share the expression your using on your Save button? (as text please).

    Sure.  @Amik 

    UpdateContext({locIsSubmit:false}); SubmitForm(Form1);Navigate(DraftFormSaved)

     

    The locIsSubmit allows the user to save and continue later until all mandatory fields have been filled out.  Once all fields are filled out, another button, the Submit button becomes enabled, allowing them to submit the form.  At this point locIsSubmit will be true
