Hi @StevieC
It is my understanding that you wish to automatically set the status datacard value when the form is in New mode but to give users the option to use a dropdown to reset the status property when the form is in Edit mode. You currently hide the status card when the form is New but wish to show it when the form is Edit mode. To do this you would make the following changes:
Set the Update property of the card to
If(
IsBlank(ThisItem.Status
), "Awaiting Approval",
Dropdown1.Selected.Value
)
Set the Visible property of the card !IsBlank(ThisItem.Status) and the Default property of the dropdown in the card to Parent.Default.
When the form is in New mode, ThisItem.Status will be blank and the update property will save "Awaiting Approval" as the status. Since the visible property of the card will be blank, the card will be hidden for New forms.
Once the card has been saved, when the form is put into Edit mode, ThisItem.Status will now be "Awaiting Approval" and the card will now be visible and the default property of the dropdown should show "Awaiting Approval". Should this value of the dropdown be changed, when the form is submitted, it will now update Status to the value in the dropdown.
