My gallery is not displaying the text when I do a call such as ThisItem.Name or whatever else may be stored within the Dataverse table. There should be two items like shown what is getting from the Filter but the purple button only displays once.

@maeux - this is a very vague post you have written. When you say "purple button", is that supposed to mean you have embedded a Button control into your Gallery, and that it should be visible for all rows in your table?

Hello yes, sorry for not being more specific. The "purple button" is a part of each gallery item. You are exactly correct with your assumption.

To give a better explanation. Whenever a user was to click on the "+ Add" text they would be able to add multiple items to that one type of field similar to attachments but with objects. We have the field patching to the Dataverse table as the user submits the new item into the field

@maeux - sorry this is still very vague.

As I understand it, your data source is Dataverse, and you have a Gallery control. The Items property of that Gallery control is associated to a Dataverse table.

You have a Label control on your Screen. On the OnSelect property of that Label control, you're running a Patch function to add a new row to your DataSource.

You have a Button control embedded into the Gallery. The Button control should be repeated per the number of items in the Gallery, however, it the Button is only appearing on the first row.

What do you have on the Visible property of that Button?

Hello Amik,

No that is alright let me give more context. The Button visibility is set to true.

Yes, it is only showing one button which should be repeated for the number of items that are in the gallery based on the filter we applied. Currently in the example I will show below there should be two items. Here are some more screenshots to give more context.

Here is the structure for each gallery item we have set up.

Here is what the application looks like while I'm in editor mode. I was able to fix the Name text display. I used the LookUp function on the Text property pf lbl_Name to retrieve the item's "Name".

On the other hand, this is what the field looks like on Run.

@maeux - I have no idea what the "Name text display" means. Looking at the screenshot of the tree view, you have a Label control in your Gallery and you have a LookUp function to return some text. What relevance any
of this has to your original question I do not know.

Focusing on the actual problem. Could you please add a Label control into the Gallery and on the Text property, enter:

ThisItem.'Created On'

And then confirm if a value is returned for each row in your Gallery control.

What I meant by "name text display" was part of my original question.

We were having trouble with the column in the Dataverse Table labeled as "Name" and have a Text Label for each gallery item that is supposed to display that value saved to the table. Using ThisItem.'Created On' did not show the value on display. Instead, I had to use this in the Text property of the label.

LookUp('Details', ID=txt_ID.Text, 'Created On')

@maeux - please update the Items property just to:

Details

I want to confirm if it is your Filter which is causing the problem.
