Posted on by CStentz

Hello, I'm sure something similar has been answered but I am unable to find it.

My app has a gallery connected to my SharePoint list on the left side. On the right side has a display form. I want to be able to edit two of the data cards and have it saved to SharePoint using a button. I have changed the data cards DisplayMode = DisplayMode.Edit to allow me to make changes in app.

What do I add to the OnSelect for the button to save any changes to these cards?

Hi @CStentz,

You will need the SubmitForm function to patch the changes to SharePoint:

SubmitForm(FormName)

Your Form Default Mode will need to be FormMode.Edit.
The Datasource will be your SP list and the Item property will be YourGalleryName.Selected.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.
Thanks!

Thank you for the reply. I have receiving an error "The function expects an editable form as its input".

@CStentz did you also apply the changes regarding Default mode, data source & item to the Form?

Hi @CStentz, you are currently using a Display Form.
This is mainly used to display data from SharePoint and I would not recommend them to Patch data.

The Form you are looking for is an Edit Form:

@CStentz if you prefer the display form, you will have to use a Patch function:

Patch(ListName, GalleryName.Selected, {ChoiceColumn:DataCardValue4.Selected, Title: DataCardValue3.Text})

DataCardValue4 is an example of how to patch a Choice column, DataCardValue3 a Text field.
Change the card values to the correct names (the name of that dropdown and text field below it).

I hope this helps!
