Opening a form that points to a specific dataverse record

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3

1 - I am successfully about to patch, create my record (new record shows up in dataverse)

2 - I create a global variable to represent the primary key

3 - upon editing form, this is where it fails,  I am setting filter, and its return blank every time.. 😞

 

Any idea's this is super frustrating...

    Hi @duncanMacDonald,

    Here is the thing, the edit form could only operate on one single record, so we at least set the DataSource property and the Item property of form.

    Not sure how you navigate to the edit form, once you navigate to the edit form, you should make the Edit form in edit mode so that you could edit an existing record.

     

    Add a edit button to make the form in edit mode by setting the OnSelect property as below:

    EditForm(FormName)

    Set the Item property of the Form with a specific record you want to edit, maybe the primary key is the way how you find this record.

    LookUp(Data,PrimaryColumn=PrimaryKeyVariable)

    Hello, @duncanMacDonald, What is the Item property of your Edit Form?
