Using Gallery/Text input search to display column name in text input on a new page

Posted on by alex_m8519

Hello,

I'm working on an app that records chemical formulation for research and development. I would like the user to be able to update formulations after the original record was created. I was able to create a gallery that users can search in order to find the formula they would like to update. However, I would like the 'formula name' column of the record to be displayed in a text input box at the top of the next (update) screen so the user can see what formula they are updating. I want this to happen when the user presses the > icon on the gallery screen. Is this possible?

@alex_m8519 before navigate function on next arrow > icon, add set function.. Set(varSelectedFormula, Gallery2.Selected)

So OnSelect of > will look like Set(varSelectedFormula, Gallery2.Selected); Navigate('Update Formula 2')

& later on you can set values (on the next screen controls) accordingly by accessing fields like varSelectedFormula.Name likewise..

@alex_m8519 glad it helped.. understand the context here.. again.. there is no need to set variable.. you can use the Gallery2.Selected but then it causes redundancy so always store it (Gallery.Selected) in variable and then use that variable on other screens..

If this has helped you.. Accept it as Solution so others can also know if they come across the same situation..
