Posted on by Powerplan2020

Hi Powerapps experts,

I'm a Powerapps newcomer.

I hope you can help me.

For example: The gallery from screen 1 have the name " GallerySägerei "

How can i save the name of the current Gallery as a variable?

Set(varText; ???????? .text)

and how can I use the variable?

This is running: Patch(Plankarten;GallerySägerei.Selected;

Thats the riddle : Patch(Plankarten;??????????????.Selected;

Many Thanks

Wolfgang

@Powerplan2020 ,

Quite simply you cannot dynamically refer to the name of any form, data source, control or screen.

If there are only a few, you can "hard code" (if a, gallerya, b, galleryb . . . ), but not any other way.

@WarrenBelz,

thanks for your quick respone.
Now I use the "hard code" a screen with 11 gallerys und 11 other screens to patch the differnt gallerys. But the app is a little bit slow.
Is ist possible only a adress for example "Gallersägerei" save as a variable?

@Powerplan2020 ,

What sort of address (email address?) - if so yes you can save text values as variables.

@WarrenBelz,
not for email, for controls (gallerys..)
I tried it, but only text numbers worked.
Patch(Plankarten;'variable call'.

Mybe you have a example for me.

Sorry I am a little confused, you cannot refer to galleries or controls with Variables as mentioned in my initial post.

The Patch syntax also has to contain the correct structure although you can refer to a matching Item with a Variable - example

Patch( YourListName, {ListFieldName:Variable}, //matching record fields {ListFieldName:Variable} //patched record field )
