Text input values disappear inside Gallery

Hi,

I am building an inventory app which needs to be able to count products stored in multiple locations. Within the app I have a collection, a gallery and three input fields inside the gallery.

Through Patch, UpdateContext and possibly one other way to add the values entered into the text box I am able to ammend the total inventory counted. My problem is this:
Every time I navigate away from the field inside the gallery, my value(s) disappear.

I have attached the code to OnSelect & OnChange; changed the default to "", [blank], false, and anything else I can think of. Any help would be much appreciated.

General Idea of App:

In Gallery - User enters values.

Apples: 10 on the floor; 5 near cash register; 30 apples in backroom.

Oranges: 8 on floor; 3 near cash; 100 in back room.

In Collection:

Name: / Inv:

Apples / 45

Oranges / 111

Can you possibly supply a picture of your screen to get a better idea about what you are trying to put together?

That will help in understanding the issue better.

Hi,

1 - Thank you very much for your question and any help you can provide.

2 -
Please find the attached screen shot of my Collection and the Gallery. It is a bit messy as I have tried a number of workarounds, some of which are better than others.

At the top:
Apple: Input Box= 12; Input Box = 45
Code attached to each box:
Patch(InventoryCollection, {Name: "Apple"}, {Inv: (fridgeAppleText + ovrstockAppleText)})
This successfully adds the values of the inventory to the collection, however, it would require me to build and rename new text input fields for each new item. I would prefer to build a dynamic option which will display each item in a gallery.

Dynamic Solution:
The Gallery.
Title: Name of Item
Subtitle: Inventory
Input box 1, 2 3: Location(s) where inventory is kept.

Code attached to OnChange of Input boxes:
Patch(InventoryCollection, {Name: Title4.Text},{ Inv: FridgeInvTxt+OverStock2txt+OvrStock1txt})

What happens:
Collection updates - Value in text input box disappears / reverts to default values. I have tried to disable the default values, insert null string, assign false value.

Thanks,
Colin
