How to prevent my form from resetting

Hi,

I have a page with two forms, let's call them the Form 1 and Form 2.

Basically, the way they work is that any information in the data cards in Form 1 are reflected in their identical data cards in Form 2, with one exception (The reference data card).

The way I have done this is by utilising a patch in the Items section in Form 2 as per below.

Patch(Defaults('CDR Tracker 1'),{Urgent:Form1.Updates.Urgent,
Requestor:Form1.Updates.Requestor,
Office:Form1.Updates.Office,
DateofRequest:Form1.Updates.DateofRequest,
Status:Form1.Updates.Status,
DateDue:Form1.Updates.DateDue,
Source:Form1.Updates.Source,
Comments:Form1.Updates.Comments})

I have one data card value called Reference, which is to be unique to each form, so the Reference for form 1 and 2 will not be identical although all other values will.

So, if I add the Reference to Form 1 and then Form 2, but then for whatever reason change any of the above values i.e Urgent in Form 1, then the Reference in Form 2 will reset and clear, and I have to retype it.

I was just wondering if there is any way to prevent this happening.

Hi @Cargue96 ,

Do you want that value of Reference in Form2 don't change when you change any of the values in Form1?

Based on your description, I have made a simple test for your reference.

You could set the OnChange property of The TextInput in Reference DataCard to “Set(Ref,Form2.Updates.Reference)”, then add “Reference:Ref ” to your formula for Form2.

Best regards,
