Hi guys,

For button's display mode, why we cannot determine its display mode by some condition ?

I put something like this :

if (CurrentRecord.Posted = true, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

The "CurrentRecord" is my variable table (record) which the field "Posted" is Yes/No (true/false), I want to disable that button if my data identified as Posted = Yes.

Currently there is an error saying like this :

Thanks

Is that button in a gallery?

If yes, try this:

If (ThisItem.Posted = true, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

Is it after you select an item in a gallery?

If yes, try this:

If (Gallery1.Selected.Posted = true, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

Hi @Nogueira1306

No, the button is inside container only.
There is another popup error message saying: Invocation of unknown or unsupported function.

Thanks

Hi @Nogueira1306

Actually it is a result from a lookup from ModelDrivenFormIntegration, like this :
Set(CurrentRecord, LookUp(MySourceTable, 'Journal ID' = [@ModelDrivenFormIntegration].Item.'Journal ID'));

But upon checking of this variable, I found something weird though, it looks like the field has no value ->
While if I checked in its raw data, my table's "Posted" field currently has value "No" to all, and it is a data type Choice "Yes/No"

Thanks,

@Axal

Can you confirm that you spelled If with a capital I? In your initial post, your If statement is spelled with a lowercase i.

If you spell it with a lowercase i, it would cause the "Invocation of unknown or unsupported function" error.

Hi @Axal

The missing posted value will most likely be due to explicit column selection, the same reason as what we discussed here a few weeks ago...

Hi @timl ,

IMO actually this explicit column and the part whereby we need to explicitly mentioned the column is quite troublesome, when we create our own column, basically we want to use it. Understand about "performance issue", but it is not solving the issue it self when they just don't call the field, just like you have have kids and he's noisy then just leave him behind ?

My columns is less then 10 anyway, so I've decided to switch off that feature. I think it is getting ridiculous if we need to type our own columns as where is the "LOW CODE NO CODE" in here ? it's just marketing gimmick.

However, it seems it doesn't solve the issue, hence now my expected field not even in the list. Probably should wait a couple of hours to refresh, ... it's cloud.....

Pardon my frustration...😫
