I have a message and button I'd like to show based upon a field selection in my form upon submit. The message gives instruction regarding a required action and provides a link to a site outside of SharePoint/PowerApps. The issue is: I'd like that message to show ONLY when the record is first created; when it was/is a new record. Once the record is created and is no longer new; and is edited, I don't want that message to pop up on edits.
Any idea how I can do that? Thank you for your help.
@CindyZ before submitting you could use the following code to check if this record exists already:
If(CountRows(Filter(DataSource, UniqueFieldOrName = DataCardWithUniqueFieldOrName)) = 0, Notify("Your Message", NotificationType.Information))
With DataCardWithUniqueFieldOrName I mean the datacard or field of the record you are trying to submit / update. You can swap the 'Notify' with a set variable true and use that variable in the OnVisible of your button and message.If I answered your question fully, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.Thanks!
Hello @CindyZ
Compare the item's creation and modified date.
On that Message's Visible property, do like this:
ThisItem.Created=ThisItem.Modified
This is the method I used and it worked beautifully! However, I'm sure both suggestion work equally as well. Thanks to bot of you @cha_cha and @LaurensM !
