I have a gallery that populates a form when an item is selected. This form can be edited. When the form fields are edited and submitted the gallery updates but the form doesn't. Tt shows the old values until I select on the item again in the gallery. How do I get the form to update on submit?

Hi @futr_vision ,

If you need the form to be visible at the time the data is submitted (versus leaving the form and coming back to it), you might try placing a datasource refresh or a ResetForm option in the OnSuccess property of the form

Refresh datasource:
Refresh(datasource)

ResetForm option:

ResetForm(formName)

Hi @futr_vision , When you select the item in gallery, have this code:
Set(gblvar_SelectedRecord, ThisItem)
The Items property of form will be gblvar_SelectedRecord and the data source form will remain same as you already have.
On submit button, have this code:
SubmitForm(FormName); Refresh(DataSource); Set(gblvar_SelectedRecord, FormName.LastSubmit)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helps.

Funny you mentioned this. I was thinking I should set a variable for the gallery item and then use that for my form's item property. Let me give this a try.

One thing. Wouldn't it be better to use this on the On Success property of the form?

Set(gblvar_SelectedRecord, FormName.LastSubmit)

NOTE: I think I had tried Refresh but it gave me an error. I'll try again.
