Powerapps to customize a form - New and Edit issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am customizing a form in powerapps from a Sharepoint list. I am trying to create different forms for New and Edit, I have followed instructions for duplicating screens and setting the OnNew action etc. I get errors on OnNew, OnEdit and Onview of;

"Name isn't valid. This Identified Isn't recognized"

The formula is;

"Set(SharePointFormMode,"CreateForm");NewForm(DRFormNew);Navigate(ScreenNew,ScreenTransition.None)"

When i start typing DRFormnew in the brackets section it auto populates so "DRFormNew" does exist.

Each form is set as the required default for New, View etc. I am not sure what the error actually relates can anyone assist please?

Screenshot below.

    Based on the error that you have shared, can you please replace ScreenName with the name of actual screen names like DRFormNewSCR and etc?

     

    OnNew -> Set(SharePointFormMode,"CreateForm");NewForm(DRFormNew);Navigate(DRFormNewSCR,ScreenTransition.None)

     

     

    Hope this Helps!
