    On the OnVisible of the screen, Create a variable;

    Set(MySelected, GalleryName.Selected)

     

    You can use the variable: MySelected anywhere in your App.

    Edited:

    You can set the Default of the Gallery to:

    MySelected

    It has same problem. 

    1. Gallery1 -> Items : 

    SortByColumns(

    If(TextInput1_3.Text="" && TextInput1.Text="",

                     Filter(FixtureMasterList,Applied = ddFixtureType_3.Selected.Result && FixtureName=Dropdown1_1.Selected.Result),
    If(TextInput1_3.Text="",
                     Search(FixtureMasterList,TextInput1.Text,"FixtureName"),
                     Search(FixtureMasterList,TextInput1_3.Text, "FixtureNum"))),
                                                                                                                "FixtureNum",Ascending)

    what is wrong ?

    The procedure I stated is the way to go. However remember you have about 3 criteria using If function. So if the variable does not Fall into the criteria, it may not work. 

    Can you give a screenshot of the formula I gave

    I cant see the Variable in the Default of the Gallery, you have rather put the FixedMasterList there.

    The suggestion was to create a variable onvisible and put the variable on the default.

    Hi @JHChoi81 ,

    Based on the screenshot that you mentioned, I found that your second Gallery (Gallery1) has been bind to the selected item in your First Gallery (FixtureListMain_2), right?

     

    According to the issue that you mentioned, I think this issue is related to your UpdateIf function. When you execute your UpdateIf function successfully, your FixtureMasterList data source would be refreshed, then your First Gallery FixtureListMain_2 would also be reset. So the FixtureListMain_2.Selected formula would be reset to the first record in your FixtureListMain_2 Gallery.

     

    As an fixed solution, please take a try with the following workaround:

    Set the OnSelect property of the FixtureListMain_2 Gallery to following:

    Set(CurrentSelectedItem, FixtureListMain_2.Selected)

     

    Set the Items property of the Gallery1 (second Gallery) to following:

    Filter(FixtureMasterList, ID = CurrentSelectedItem.ID)

    remove the formula from the Default property of the Gallery1.

     

    Please consider take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    This is an interesting solution, but the problem for me it comes when I modify the data. The source gets updated but not the variable, what I am missing?

    Thanks
