Hi. Any suggestions for how I could apply conditional formatting of controls in a gallery but ONLY for new records that a user adds with a Patch function? I have built a gallery grid with add/edit/delete functionality.

Here's the current Patch function called from an 'Add' button:

===============

//Create new row directly to datasource
Patch(
listResponses,
Defaults(listResponses),
{
Title: "**Enter details of Work Item**",
Week: cbFilterWeek.Selected,
Department: varUserDepartment,
Group: varUserGroup,
Role: varUserRole,
Location: varUserLocation
}
);

===============

The data source is a SharePoint List.

The gallery is populated from a filter of the data source.

Edits (not Adds) are managed with a temporary collection that is patched to the data source only when a 'Save' button is clicked.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @jamezm79,

You will have to keep track of which records where newly created by that user in that app instance. You could save the created IDs to a collection and check whether that row ID is in the collection in order to achieve conditional styling:

Collect(
 colNewRecords,
 Patch(
 listResponses,
 Defaults(listResponses),
 {
 Title: "**Enter details of Work Item**",
 Week: cbFilterWeek.Selected,
 Department: varUserDepartment,
 Group: varUserGroup,
 Role: varUserRole,
 Location: varUserLocation
 }
 ).ID
)

In the TemplateFill property write (example):

If(ThisItem.ID in colNewRecords, Color.Red)

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!
