Missing "Value" Property with a text input box - Following Rezza Dorrani video "Mastering SharePoint List Relationships in Power Apps | Create Responsive Repeating Tables"

Posted on by j_mclauchlan

Hi maybe a newbie misunderstanding on my part but following the latest Rezza Dorrani video "Mastering SharePoint List Relationships in Power Apps | Create Responsive Repeating Tables" where I am inserting a text input into a blank gallery and the video shows Value as a property for the text input field but I get "default" and cannot find "Value" in the drop down property multi choice.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Basically this is causing a problem with the save button later on as it refers to the "Value" for each record which I can't find.

Thanks for any advice!

Make sure you enable the use of Modern Controls and themes in the upcoming Features Settings and use a Modern Text input control. That's why the video has a Value property and you don't. You are using the classic Text Input control.

Hello,

I've just had a look at the video, and not a newbie error (and I have to say I'm confused now).

I've just done something very similar in one of our apps, and it was the Default property I set to (in this case) ThisItem.Description, and it's the .Text property I used to access the value in order to save it (or rather, update the collection from the OnChange property, in this app).

Certainly, in the version of PowerApps I'm using, Text Inputs don't have a .Value property, and while Microsoft does like to make sudden changes, this would be quite a drastic one.

If you are using the regular TextInput control its Default. If you are using the Modern version its Value. The setting I mentioned controls whether you see the new Modern controls. If you turn that on you'll see two tabs in the control input dialog. The TextInput used by the video is from the Modern tab. That's where the confusion comes in. Its all dependent on which version of the control you add to the app.

About the video from Rezza. Where exactly the regular TextInput control should be changed to Modern version? I've change it in RecordsGallery1 (Title and ID) but the error the same. Thank You.
