EditForm displaying different item after submit

Posted on by JulianM

Hi guys.

I'm facing a problem when using my edit form.

The App shows articles written by users. First, they select an item in the gallery and get navigated to the details screen which displays the Content of the Article.

If the current User is the writer of the article, an icon, which navigates to the edit screen, is shown.

So far so good.

After I edit the article and user my save button, which submits the form, the edit form suddenly displays another item (first one) of the gallery and doesn't keep the previous one

does someone know a way to keep the same item after submitting?

Yes, you can edit the Item property of the form to refer to: Form1.LastSubmit

Hope that helps,

Bryan

@JulianM

As an FYI!!

This is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the Coalesce function.

Coalesce(Form.LastSubmit, Gallery.Selected)

Will provide the same results as your If statement...with a lot less repetition of typing!

Coalesce returns the first parameter that is not blank.

Hope this is informative and helpful for you.
