Bulk update collection from gallery with individual inputs

Posted on by ShannonC

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find a way to update a collection of items that have matching ID's to items I'm managing in a gallery.

The issue is the gallery rows have inputs with information I'm wanting to capture and I can't seem to reference those specifically.

I'd ideally like to do this in one function like seen below but I hit a brick wall with referencing the inputs.

ForAll(
 Filter(
 Gal.AllItems,
 ThisRecord.Checkbox.Value = true
 ),
 UpdateIf(
 Collection,
 ID = ThisRecord.ID,
 {
 Value1: ThisRecord.Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value,
 Value2: ThisRecord.Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value
 }
 )
)

Below is my current solution working, I'd rather not create a temp collection to make it work though if possible.

ForAll(
 Filter(
 Gal.AllItems,
 ThisRecord.Checkbox.Value = true
 ),
 Collect(
 TempCollection,
 {
 TempID: ThisRecord.ID,
 TempValue1: ThisRecord.Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value,
 TempValue2: ThisRecord.Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value
 }
 )
);
ForAll(
 TempCollection,
 UpdateIf(
 Collection,
 ID= TempID,
 {
 Value1: TempValue1,
 Value2: TempValue2
 }
 )
);
Clear(TempCollection)

Any ideas?

I've done some tested, checked other posts (maybe I missed a relevant one) and asked copilot for ideas.

Hi @ShannonC ,

This should work - if you do not want the ID in the collection, just leave it out

ClearCollect( Collection, ForAll( Filter( Gal.AllItems, Checkbox.Value ) As _Data, { ID: _Data.ID, Value1: _Data.Dropdown1.Selected.Value, Value2: _Data.Dropdown2.Selected.Value } ) );

Hi Warren, I've tested this. This replaces the record instead of updating causing other values in the collection to be lost. I don't consider it a good solution.

hi @ShannonC ,
try this:
ForAll( Filter( Gal.AllItems, ThisRecord.Checkbox.Value = true ), Patch( Collection, LookUp(Collection, ID = ThisRecord.ID), { Value1: ThisRecord.Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value, Value2: ThisRecord.Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value } ) )

You'd think this one would work but it only updates the first record and none of the others.
