The global Variable set is not working

Hi All,

I think i have encountered a bug issue.

I am building an app and use global variable function set(varXXX, XXXX).
The issues I had,
1. I am trying to set up a global variable for last submit form ID and obtain it on the OnSuccess property -> set(varLastID, form1.lastsubmit.ID)

But after I finished it, the power app doesnt treat it as global variable. Other screen page cannot use varLastID.

2. Since varlastID doesnt work, so i change the syntax to -> set(varLastsubmitID, form1.lastsubmit). Now the varLastsubmitID is useable in the other screenpage. but I test it in the label text, it doesnt have nested data inside.

For example, label1.text = varLastsubmit.ID is not working. the system doesnt recognize .ID

I am very confused why it doesnt work. Could someone kindly check what is going on? (FYI, the form1 I have submitted many times with all data)

Thanks!

Hi YH-18102220-0

The first one should work, however I actually use the same process as the second example on all of my Forms OnSuccess

Set( gblRecord, Self.LastSubmit )

then the Item of any form relating to that record is
LookUp( SPList, ID = gblRecord.ID )

as well as this any field you need to reference in the current record is simply
gblRecord.TheFieldName

From what you posted, your example on this one should be
varLastsubmitID.ID

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

I just tried your solution. it doesn't work. the variable does not have any value inside.

I do not know what is going to on for the power app.

Hi YH-18102220-0

I use it on almost every Form I have, so I know it works (as it should). Can you please post the exact code you are using and where you are using it.
