OnSelect button not working on existing items

Posted on by casr133

Hello. I want to customize a form in SP by dividing my fields in two dropdown Lists, thus I added a button for each section and set the OnSelect property to:

Set(varshowfields, If(varshowfields=1, 0, 1) )

The button works perfect when adding a new item, but with existing items, it doesn't work. Any idea of how to implement it to work both in existing and new items?

Hi @casr133 ,

Could you please share more details about your scenario? What do you mean by dividing fields in two dropdown lists?

Maybe you can try UpdateContext({varshowfields : !varshowfields}) instead. And OnStart needs UpdateContext({varshowfields : true) to initialize this variable as true/false.

Best regards

I have a List with over 200 fields, thus, I want to minimize the length of the form by adding headers/sections, which, when clickable, will display the fields aggregated to that header/section. Just like an accordion. I created the buttons and it works perfect on new items (edit mode). However, once I have created a new entry, if I try to open it, I cannot click on the headers to display the corresponding fields (view mode). A solution I found was to add the buttons outside the form, that way, they are clickable even in view form, but the problem is that the position of each button is fixed and consequently every time I open a specific header, the button doesn't move accordingly.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @casr133 ,

This scenario called tabbed form, please refer to below blog or you can search for it on the web.

So, generally speaking, we will use a Gallery to include the tabs, which will make those buttons independent to display mode of forms, and also easier to adjust their appearance.

Best regards,
