Show message ONLY when the record is first submitted; not on future edits

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

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 !
