Hello all!

I don't now how to explain this but i try.. The issue is regarding two custom entity lists.

I want open a record, and remember the view of the record.

So if i open a record from "Cancelled Workgroups" view (see picture 1). I want that record to remember its view and show other records from "Cancelled Workgroups" view and not "Active Workgroups" view (see picture 2).

What do i need to do to solve this issue?

Can i change the view based on GUID from the record i open?

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Best Regards

Hi

I am just a bit curious on what you are showing on your second page? how or what view is showing up there?

My initial thoughts:
I would add some flag representing the view, you can loop the data via JS/jQuery and modify the URL / details
in this post I talk about doing modifications against an Entity List but you can use the part where I am looping the entity list rows: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/13/power-apps-portals-adding-icons-to-entity-list-action-buttons-via-javascript/
now from the seconds page I guess you might need another JS to read the query string getting the view that is opening from
I wrote a while ago a JS for this, hopefully still works (you just need to define the selected index representing the view):

var selectViewControl = $(".view-toolbar").find(".view-select").find("li").find("ul"); var options = selectViewControl.find("li"); var selectedOption = options[selectedIndex]; if (!!selectedOption) { $(selectedOption).find("a").trigger("click"); }

I hope this didn't make you more confused 😉

Hi to you both @Krbromark and @OliverRodrigues.

Your solution with Custom Javascript on the entity list could work, @OliverRodrigues. We would use your short script to get the entity list view and add that to the URL as a parameter on the item action links. That's a great idea, thank you!

@Krbromark and I will work on it tomorrow and get back to you whether it works or not.

Cheers!
Ulrikke
