Submit a form after updating a textbox

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Carollina 2

Hello everybody! I'm new to this platform and I have a big question.

I would like to submit a form after updating the information in the text box.

I have a field that contains a LookUp formula which searches for an employee's name based on their record number.

As soon as I fill in the employee's name, I would like it to be registered in the database.

I tried to put the formula I'm using in a Submit button (which works normally) in the OnChange function of the text box, but without success.

    Try starting a short timer with the OnChange event and put your logic in the OnEnd of the timer.

    Sorry, I'm new to this world of powerapps.

    Could you detail how I can do this?

    Thank you so much for answering!

    Yes, I will also supply a link. It would be the same as starting on button click.

    Add a timer to your screen, later you can make Visible=false so it is hidden.

    Go to Advanced:

    Change the timer duration to 1000.

    Start to startTimer1.

    OnTimerEnd =SubmitForm(Form1),etc

     

    Now in your OnChange of your Text put:

    UpdateContext({startTimer1:false});UpdateContext({startTimer1:true});

     

    Here is the link that may help as well.

    Hi @Carollina ,
    On the OnChange of your textinput, try Select(~~Button name goes here~~) .  That should Select the button you WOULD use to submit the form.  You may want to change your DelayOutput on your textinput to true as well to give your user some time to fill it out correctly. 

    Hope this helps!
