    hey @rohanb_3050 

     

    do you mean gallery instead of form? a form can only show 1 item of a list. a gallery can show multiple items. Also the gallery can be filtered by a dropdown like u mentioned above

    this is an approach that works for the Items property of the gallery

    Filter(DataSource, Status = Dropdown1.Selected.Value)
    

     

    be aware to rename Datasource and the column here called Status and the Dropdown to the name of your column

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

    MIne is not gallery. only form. Below is my form and want to seperate filter with dropdown and in that drop down i want to add pending and completed. when i select completed my form should only filter task with completed and same thing with pending tasks.

     

    example. i have 3 fields with drop down

     

    field one i selected completed

    field 2 i selected pending

    field 3 i selected completed

     

    I want to have a seperate dropdown filter with pending and completed. when i select completed I want my form to show only completed tasks only

    As far as i understand u u need a gallery because as mentioned a form only holds 1 item and uncan not show multiple tasks in one form if they are different items

    Hi 

     

    I'm not sure if it possible to display multiple records in a form, I know you might have made progress using a form but like @mmbr1606 has suggested, take your time and use a gallery instead.

    You can keep the form and navigate from thr gallery to the form if you need to make modifications to your existing tasks. Inserting a gallery is just an effort of 5 max 10 minutes with the filtering
