How can I make this work.
After trying so many different ways I came up with this.
I have a datacard called Job steps and I have 10 textinputs as shown below. (Also see pic for reference)
textinput 1
textinput2
textinput3
textinpit 4
.
.
.
.
textinput10
I want the textboxes to get back their default values when user opens the submitted form in edit mode.
I used If(!Exisitng, "1.", First(Split(ThisItem.JobSteps,"|")).Result). -- - I am checking if it is not an existing form then have 1. in the textinput, if not (if its edit form) have the defaulted value that the user submitted when they created this form.
Technically the above formula works for my First TextInput but how can I get back the other TextInput information?
I tried the formula (See below) For the second textinput but I am not sure how to make this work.
My patch function for this coloumn is
jobsteps: Concatenate(TextInput7.Text,"|", TextInput8.Text, "|", TextInput14.Text)
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
If I understand correctly, you want to get back element N from an array.
For element 1 you are using: If(!Exisitng, "1.", First(Split(ThisItem.JobSteps,"|")).Result)
For element 2 you can use a combination of Last and FirstN, e.g.
If(!Exisitng, "1.", Last(FirstN(Split(ThisItem.JobSteps,"|"),2)).Result)
So you are saying, return the first 2 items and give me the last one.
To get element 3 would be:
If(!Exisitng, "1.", Last(FirstN(Split(ThisItem.JobSteps,"|"),3)).Result)
For the second and so on you could try
Last(FirstN(Split(ThisItem.JobSteps,"|"),2))).Result)
Change the 2 to 3,4,5,6,7 and so on.
Should work I would think.

My datasource is SQL and Jobsteps is one of the coloum in it.
