Hello 

I will like to know how we can change the element value or some other properties based on the title provided as string. Same like html DOM function (getelementbyid() ) .

Thank

    Power Apps is not the same as JavaScript - it's not possible to set values using a function such as getelementbyid.

    In the case where you want to update the text of a label, you would set the text property of the label to a variable.

    Coalesce(varLabelText, "Your default label text")

    You can then update the variable in order to update the label text.

     

    Set(varLabelText, "Your new label text")
