Toggle switch onchange triggered by selecting different items

Posted on by BigGGG777

Hello,

I have patch function working with a toggle switch onchange property. I want to patch some info when it's switched on/off.

If(tglTowerOnHoldA.Value = true,Patch('P2 Batch Sheets',ThisItem,{'Tower On Hold':'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.Yes});Set(gblOnHoldTime,ThisItem.'Tower On Hold Time');Set(gblOnHoldDate,Now()),Patch('P2 Batch Sheets',ThisItem,{'Tower On Hold':'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.No,'Tower On Hold Time':locOnHoldTime,'Tower On Hold Date':Blank()}))

The default of toggle is set to be the item's on hold column value.

If(ThisItem.'Tower On Hold' = 'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.Yes,true,false)

However, every time I select a different, let's say from one with on hold to a new one with not on hold, the onchange property got triggered automatically. Does anyone know a way to sort this out?

Thanks,

Hi @BigGGG777,

Do you mean that the OnChange property triggers when you update an item with Toggle value from yes to no?

I want to explain to you that it is how the OnChange property works that a value changes from yes to no.

Hi @v-qiaqi-msft ,

Thanks for replying. I didn't mean that. My app currently has 2 layers, the top layer is a gallery which you can select item. The second layer is the item form itself. By that, I mean, when I select one item with the value equals to 'Yes' and then go back to top gallery and select another item whose value is 'No', then the OnChange of toggle automatically triggered. I want a way to avoid this.

not sure if it will resolve the issue but you can try:

If( tglTowerOnHoldA.Value = true && ThisItem.'Tower On Hold' = 'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.No, Patch('P2 Batch Sheets', ThisItem, { 'Tower On Hold': 'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.Yes } ); Set(gblOnHoldTime, ThisItem.'Tower On Hold Time'); Set(gblOnHoldDate, Now()) , tglTowerOnHoldA.Value = false && ThisItem.'Tower On Hold' = 'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.Yes, Patch('P2 Batch Sheets', ThisItem, { 'Tower On Hold': 'Tower On Hold (P2 Batch Sheets)'.No, 'Tower On Hold Time': locOnHoldTime, 'Tower On Hold Date': Blank() } ) )

If it does not work, i would place your original code to be triggered by a separate button.OnSelect (and tglTowerOnHoldA.OnChange=false).

If both do not work, i have no other ideas without having all the app's code.
