Hello,

I have a gallery on my powerapp with buttons on each gallery entry. When I press any of the buttons it affects the whole gallery and not just the entry I want to update. How can I set the buttons so that they only action / update the gallery entry I choose ?

Thanks,

Mick

Hi @Station1901 ,

Could you please show me the formula on the button and what kind of functionality do you want to achieve when you click the button?
If you want to click the button for an item in the gallery to update the current record, you can do so:
OnSelect: Patch(TableName,ThisItem,{ColumnName:Value})

I have a telephone icon on each of the gallery entries. I want the user to press the icon when they have called a customer and then this will then display the other options for that particular customer but when the user presses the telephone icon ALL of the other options display for ALL of the customers in the gallery. Is there a way to fix this so that if the telephone icon is pressed the buttons only display for that customer. The code on the 'On Select' option for the telephone icon is
'Gallery2.Selected.CID;
Set(gVar_Contact,"Y")'
The other buttons display when gVar_Contact is set to Y

CID is a unique identifier for each record in the Gallery and the datasource is a sharepoint list named Cars. Whenthe Phone icon is pressed it changes the variable to Y the other buttons on that row have their visible setting to only show when the variable is Y which works but it displays the buttons in every row in the gallery when any phone icon is pressed. Essentially when the variable is set to Y it sets every button on every entry in the gallery visible property to true

Hi @Station1901 ,

Are the controls that show the customer's other options also in the gallery?
I'm assuming you're doing this, when the value of the variable is "Y", the visible property of the control in the gallery is true.
The cause of the problem is that controls are using the same variable.
The best thing to do is to add columns with values of true/false to the data source for each control Visible property in the gallery, and then, when you click the button, update the current values of those columns to true.
OnSelect: Patch(TableName,ThisItem,{VisibleColumn1:true,VisibleColumn2:true})
And use ThisItem.VisibleColumn on the visible property of controls.

Best regards,
Rimmon
