Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have an unusual need. Based on a users' group permissions They have access to a check that will display a hidden second form with sensitive information. This works well, however the screen forms are set to Edit or New based on a variable. I have tried both a single and dual variables but the forms can render asynchronously depending on user navigation.

In the DefaultMode of frmSensitive I'd like use something like Set(FormMode.Edit(If(frmPublic=FormMode.Edit),FormMode.New))?

It seems the simplest way to avoid my issue? Any ideas are appreciated.

Well. It seems that EditForm() and NewForm() work fine on my 10pro HVM. My 11 Pro won't set either - with any browser. I've had this issue twice now. Sorry for the crap above.

Hi @Ridgerunner401 ,

If you set a Variable (I have used a Context item here)

UpdateContext({varFormMode: "EditMode"})

or whatever mode you need at the time and then add a Button (you can hide it)

Switch(
 varFormMode,
 "EditMode",
 EditForm(Form1);
 EditFrom(Form2),
 "ViewMode",
 ViewForm(Form1);
 ViewFrom(Form2),
 "NewMode",
 NewForm(Form1);
 NewFrom(Form2)
)

and add to the top code

UpdateContext({varFormMode: "EditMode"});
Select(ButtonName)

when you change the variable required in the top code, the forms will then enter the desired mode.
