Patch function need Help please

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 116

Hello,

I need help in the usage of the Patch function please.

My goal is to override a field in a database table with the value "not available"  if another field is not empty. 

 

This shall happen after a form is submitted and the code I have so far is on the Onselect Property of a button:

UpdateContext({EME_MitarbeiterVar:DataCardValue56});
SubmitForm(EditMitarbeiterEinheitForm);
If(EME_MitarbeiterVar <> "", Patch(Einheit, Defaults(Einheit), {Status:"Vergeben"}));
Back();

 

I am not quit sure also how I can define the dataset I want to update in the Patch function because I think like this it would override all datasets, doesnt it?

Any help is much appreciated!

best regards Leon

    Hi

    Plz try this

    UpdateContext({ EME_MitarbeiterVar: DataCardValue56 });
    SubmitForm(EditMitarbeiterEinheitForm);

    If(EME_MitarbeiterVar <> "",
    Patch(
    Einheit,
    LookUp(Einheit, YourConditionHere),
    { Status: "Vergeben" }
    )
    );

    Back();

    (Or)

    UpdateContext({EME_MitarbeiterVar:DataCardValue56}); SubmitForm(EditMitarbeiterEinheitForm); If(!IsBlank(EME_MitarbeiterVar), Patch(Einheit, LookUp(Einheit, ID = EditMitarbeiterEinheitForm.LastSubmit.ID), {Status:"not available"})); Back();


    Thanks!
