Gallery View not showing correct information

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DerrickH 196

Hello,


I have an issue where a gallery is not showing the correct information from the form it is attached to.  Specifically, I have a data card in the form for the date/time.  I have set the default property to “Now ()” to show the current date/time on the form and when I submit the form, it records that value.  Although, when I view a record in the gallery, it shows the current date/time and not the recorded date/time f rom the form submission.

 

i also have a column of choices on the forum for which I have changed to a radio selection and none of these radio selections are showing the selected value after viewing the submission in the gallery.

 

 Thank you for your help in advance!

    Hi @DerrickH ,

    What is the Text of your Date label in the gallery and what is the Update of the Data Card containing the Radio Control ?

    Hello @WarrenBelz  , I was able to correct the radio control issue, but the Text of my Date Label in the gallery is set to "This.Item.'Date of Inspection'

    Hi @DerrickH ,

    That would seem correct assuming 'Date of Inspection' contains data in the relevant record. Do other fields in the record display in the gallery ? I assume the quote " in your post before it was a mis-type.

    @WarrenBelz , Yes...apologies that was a typo.  Could it have anything to do with the SharePoint List Column settings?  The Default value under the column settings was set to Today's Date?

    Hi @DerrickH ,

    I probably asked the wrong question - what is the date in the SharePoint record ? It would be the date the record was created unless you change it when first saving. I am trying to understand what it is that is not working as expected.

    @WarrenBelz I apologize.  I'm very new to PowerApps.  So here is what I am trying to accomplish and I will include some pictures as well.  

     

    I have created an Inspection form that is linked to a SharePoint List.  Within my "edit" form in PowerApps, I have a Datacard called "Date of Inspection".  My purpose for this field is to automatically populate the current Date & Time on the form so the user does not have to select.  Within the Date of Inspection DataCard, I have set the Default properties of the datevalue, hourvalue & minutevalue areas to Now(), see the attachments for additional clarification.  Every time the form loads in New or Edit display modes, the current date and time autopopulates on the form.....which is my goal. 

     

    - Saving/submitting the form saves that specific date/time from the form to my SharePoint list.

    - The gallery on my home screen also shows the specific date/time of when I saved the form.

     

    The problem is not until I select the record in the gallery to view the record in the "view" display mode, which produces the submitted form but shows the current date/time instead of the submitted date/time.

    @DerrickH ,

    I am still trying to understand exactly what the issue is - what is the Item of your Form and where is it you are seeing what you believe is the wrong date (the one that does not match the date you can see in SharePoint on the record you are viewing) ?

  • DerrickH Profile Picture

    @WarrenBelz I don't know if I'm explaining this correctly then.  When you select a record from the gallery and it shows you all of the information that was submitted through the form.....should it not show you the exact date/time the form was submitted? My issue is when I select a record in the gallery and by selecting the record, which navigates to a different screen showing the results of the submitted form, the recorded date/time the form was submitted changes to the current date/time when viewing the results of the submitted form.  The other results of the submitted fields of the form are produced and correct, the only field that is not correct(in my opinion) is the date the inspection was submitted, which shows the current date/time which should show the recorded date/time.  The item property of the form when viewing the results of the submission is GalleryHS.Selected.

     

    It's possible I could be using the wrong formula, I don't know.

    Hi @DerrickH ,

    OK we have established (I hope) the issue is with the field in the Form (not the label in the Gallery which you are now confirming is correct - your original post says I have an issue where a gallery is not showing the correct information from the form it is attached to.)

    To summarise

    • If in a Gallery you have a text label with ThisItem.YourListFieldName it certainly should show the current value in the record displayed in that field.
    • A Form field depends on the Default setting, which also should in normal circumstances also be the same or Parent.Default. If you simply have it set to Now(), it will aways show the current date and also save this and overwrite the existing data if you re-submit the form.

    There are a couple of ways you can you this, but probably the best is in the DefaultDate

    If(
 YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.New,
 Today(),
 Parent.Default
)
