Conditional visibility for the section based on the selected item

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have an issue with conditional visibility. The task looks pretty simple, but I don't understand why it doesn't work:

I have a section with a label and form that should be only visible if a user chooses "Line 2" in the Combo box at the first section. So, for the Visible property for this section I wrote:

If("Line 2" in DataCardValue2.SelectedItems.Value, true, false).

But as you can see on the screenshot - the section just disappeared and nothing happens if I choose or not "Line 2" in the field.

I also tried to use a variable and then set the function for the OnChange property:

Switch(DataCardValue2.Selected.Value,"Line 2",UpdateContext({cVisible: true}))

But the result is the same - the section just disappeared.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Try this,
If(DataCardValue2.Selected.Value = "Line 2", true, false)

Hi @Anonymous，

Does your DataCardValue2 allow multi select or not?

I have a test on my side and it works as expected.

Please share a bit more about your scenario.

Hi @v-qiaqi-msft
DataCardValue2 doesn't allow multi select.

The structure of this screen is in the screenshot. The scenario is: section "KPI_input" should appear only after "Line 2" is picked in DataCardValue2.
But if I, for example, create some additional DataCard inside the "Intro_Form" and apply for this item the same condition based on DataCardValue2 - visibility works as it has to be.

So now I am not sure if PowerApps allows applying this kind of condition to items that are not on the same structure level, because it doesn't work in my case no matter what I've tried.

Hi @Anonymous,

Okay, that's kind of clear.

Recently, we found that the value within the form could not be read from time to time, which is a bug. Our colleague have already been working on this issue. I will post here if there is any updates.

Thanks for your cooperation.
