Hello,

I am trying to incorporate a "Save & Submit" button. When this button is clicked, I would like to update a text field to "Yes" and also save the rest of the data on the form.

I currently have this

Patch('MyRequests', {ID: Value(ID_DataCard1.Default)},{'Start WF?':"Yes"}); SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);

However, this only saves the record without setting the value of the text field to Yes. I had to press the button again to update the text field.

Can this be achieved using Power Apps? Please help

Hi @cooltechie

Let it only submit form

then on the OnSuccess property of the form
do

Patch('MyRequests', formname.LastSubmit, {'Start WF?':"Yes"});

Hi Reza,

Thank you for your response. Currently the On Success form event has

ResetForm(SharePointForm1); RequestHide()

Should I keep this or remove?

I take that back. I cleared cache and it seems to be working. Thank you. Now how do I make the button disabled after I submit?

Hi @cooltechie

after your submit
the onscuccess property will patch then reset form and then request hide (which should close the form window)
so not sure why you need to disable the button

That is a requirement. The reason is that if the user views the form the disabled button will tell him that it was submitted,

Hi @cooltechie

Is this a submit button that you created or is the the default submit button that shows up on the form screen menu?

I need to understand the scenario when you want to disable
A screenshot would help

Actually the submit & save logic did not work once I opened a new browser.
