Submit form returns to screen with incorrect data.

I'm having trouble submitting a form and then getting PowerApp to go return to a screen and show the correct data. Source is a Sharepoint List.

The main screen is a list of sites which has a groupby assigned to it.

GroupBy('Equipment Testing',"SiteName","GroupbySiteName"

The next screen (ItemSelection) is a list of equipment based at each site. This has a filter function.

Filter('Equipment Testing',Site=Gallery1.Selected.SiteName)

The next screen is a form which shows whatever is selected from the ItemSelection screen above. This is view only.

Then final screen is a copy of the above but editable with a submit button with the following code.

SubmitForm(EditForm);Navigate(ItemSelection)

However, upon submission, it returns to the ItemSelection screen but always shows data relating to Allanson Street site and not the site I am working on.

Why is it doing this and how do I get it to show the information (Items) I need. If I update an Item for Ashurst, I want it to go back to the ItemSelection screen and show Ashursts items, not Allanson Street.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @AM1974 ,

I assume the field is called SiteName (not Site) and the second Gallery Items would be

Filter( 'Equipment Testing', SiteName = Gallery1.Selected.SiteName )

You have not posted the Items of the two Forms, but it should be something like (assuming the second gallery name here)

Lookup( 'Equipment Testing', ID = Gallery2.Selected.ID )

However I have another suggestion here - OnSelect of Gallery2

Set( gblRecord, ThisItem )

and the Item of both Forms

Lookup( 'Equipment Testing', ID = gblRecord.ID )

This should retain the current worked on record until you select another one from the gallery.

Hi thanks for your help but I'm a bit lost with your suggestions.

OnSelect for the tick is set to SubmitForm(EditForm);Navigate(ItemSelection)

I'm lost as to where I put the code you suggested. Could you explain further please. Is there any more information you need?

Thanks

OK. Got it working with the Lookup on both Items on the Forms but it still does exactly the same. Returns to ItemSelection screen for and always goes back to Items relating to Allanson Street (first site on the groupby).

If I got rid of Allanson Street, therefore Ashurst is the first site, the app would always return back to ItemSelection screen and show all items relating to Ashurst.

Hi

Also got it working with gblRecord option and same thing happens.

I've noticed, Allanson Street seems to be in bold all the time as though its 'selected', could this be anything to do with it?

thanks

@AM1974 ,

The code is for the Item of the Forms with two options depending on whether you want to use a Variable when you select from the gallery.

Something strange - put this on a Label

gblRecord.ID

and see if it is the ID of the item chosen in the gallery. If so then the Item on the Forms of

Lookup( 'Equipment Testing', ID = gblRecord.ID )

should display that record until you select another record from the gallery.

I'm really sorry but totally lost now. I put a label on each screen (gblRecord.ID), in a blue box.

After selecting the relevant site, this is what I see on ItemSelection screen.

The ID of the record is in orange.

If I select Testing Again (ID14) go the the next screen, this is what I get.

If I click back to go the the previous screen, all the gblRecord.ID are set to 14.
I've obviously gone wrong somewhere with your advice, but know where.

I will try to explain the logic here and you might work what you are doing wrong - I use this structure on practically everything involving Forms. When you select an item from a Gallery OnSelect

Set( gblRecord, ThisItem )

you are setting a Record Variable gblRecord (it contains all the fields of the record chosen). The Variable will retain the same value unless you change it by selecting another record.

Then the Item of any Form based on the same data source 'Equipment Testing' as the gallery

Lookup( 'Equipment Testing', ID = gblRecord.ID )

will display the record chosen as the ID is a field in the Record Variable you have set. It is a very simple, reliable and fundamental process just needs to be set when you select a record from a gallery. I assume OnSelect of the Gallery is the only place you are setting it ?
