How to connect a form from a different data source to the original form

Hi Everyone

I am brand new to PowerApps so sorry if this is very basic stuff.

The Background

I am creating a problem creation database.

In SharePoint I have ListA which can be created by UserA, and then assign the problem to UserB. This then creates a new item in listB and only allows UserB to be able to edit the item in ListB.
UserA can’t edit listB and UserB can’t edit ListA.

in powerApps I have the gallery showing ListA on selection then I want to view formA and fromB

formA input is Gallery1.Selected.

now my problem is I don’t know what to have the input for FormB. Logically it would be something like Gallery1.Selected.ID=‘FormB’.’IssueNumber’

could someone help me with this please

To add to what @timl said, although User A doesn't need edit access to List B they must have at least Read access or what you are trying to do won't work. The same thing is true for User B to List A.

@WelshFuzz

Assuming that the ID value ListA is associated with the 'IssueNumber' value in List B, you would set the Item property of FormB to:

LookUp(ListB, IssueNumber = Gallery1.Selected.ID)
