Switching toggle based on onchange of the text field

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have a edit form in my power apps. There are 2 fields that are important for this subject:

1. Toggle switch called comments modified - represented in my form by DataCardValue71

2. Text field called comments - represented in my form by DataCardValue72

What I would like to do is whenever comments field is changed (even if somebody will remove one letter or add dot) the toggle switch is set to true. Basically what I was testing is to change the OnChange property of the Comments field to something like DataCardValue71.Value = true, but it's not working. Can you please advice?

I think you want to set the DataCardValue71.Default not DataCardValue71.Value

I have fiddled with it myself and the quickest solution i found was on the Onchange property of the text input define a variable like below
Set(TextboxChanged, true)

and reference that variable in the toggle Defauolt property
hope this satisfies all your needs, if it works please mark this as answer

Thanks 🙂

I found similar solution in the meantime that I will share here. If there any possible issues that I may expect with it please let me know, but so far works well 🙂

So what I did is on the onchange property of DataCardValue72 I put: UpdateContext({varComments: true}). After that on the default property of the toggle button DataCardValue71 I wrote If(varComments = true, true, Parent.Default). In case somebody is not saving the changes or going back to other screen I also added UpdateContext({varComments: false}) to those buttons
