Toggle value in edit.form based on excel

Posted on by svm75

Hi there,

it seems that I'm just too stupid today.

So, I have a gallery based on a collection. When I click a symbol, it opens a form in edit mode:

ClearCollect(colWaiverEdit;Filter(Table1_1;WaiverID=ThisItem.WaiverID));;
Navigate(New_Waiver_1;CoverRight)

then I have toggles in the form, both based on an text field in excel (values "important", "not important".

But no matter what I try, the toggles seem to have random values when I open the form.

I currently have un the Default value

if(thisitem.Importance ="important";true;false)

All the rest works, so when I change the value and submit, the underlying data will update and the excel table shows the new value but when I open the form the next time, it has not necessarily something to do with the underlying data.

Any good ideas?

Thanks, SVM

HI @svm75 ,

You actually only need

ThisItem.Importance ="important"

on the Default of the toggle OR if case it the issue "Important", "important"

StartsWith( ThisItem.Importance; "important" )

I assume it is in a card in the form?

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

yes, it is in a card.

Where would the STARTSWITH… go? Also in the default of the toggle?

thanks. SVM

Hi @svm75 ,

Yes on the Default - you simply make a statement in both cases that has to be either true or false and this is then reflected in the Default of the Toggle (which is also either true or false),

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

unfortunately I doesn’t work.

When I open the form, it shows whatever I had selected in the last form but not what is stored in the Excel for that specific record. Any other thought?

Hi @svm75 ,

There is something else wrong here as this is a simple true/false exercise. Put a Label inside the toggle card (you will have to unlock it) with

ThisItem.Importance

and see what value is in there. What is the Item of the Form? Also I assume the form is in Edit or View Mode ?

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

the form is in Edit mode.

the label shows the correct value (ie the one that is stored in the DB. But the toggle doesn’t. As it seems, the toggle always shows the value that was set when the form was used the last time but not the value of the record.

Hi @svm75 ,

So I am clear here - you have a card with two items in it now - a Toggle with the Default

ThisItem.Importance ="important"

and a Label with the Text

ThisItem.Importance

which is displaying important and the Toggle is not true / on ?

hi @WarrenBelz ,

correct. While the label shows the record value, the toggle is always at the value of when I closed the form previously

@svm75 ,

Can you please post a screenshot of that - it makes no sense unless you have a corrupt control.
