Displaying current form name

Posted on by NuePowerPlat01

Hi,

I am currently building out a power app that consists of a single screen that has multiple forms on it. The user is able to change from one form to another via buttons. I am trying to format a Current Step field that returns the name of the form the user is currently on. I am familiar with the App.ActiveScreen.Name function, but I am wondering if there is a similar function to display the name of a form that is on the screen.

If not, if there is a workaround or a variable I can create that would be helpful as well.

Thank you in advance!

I would just set a variable in the submit of each form, specifying the text of the next step.

Thank you @sopatte for your reply, could you be a little more specific or provide an example?

It's hard to get specific when you haven't been very specific about your scenario. However, perhaps you have a ButtonA.Select like below at the completion of Step A:
Set(CurrentStep,"Step B"); Patch(DataStore,CurrentStepRecord,{Title="CurrentStep",Data=CurrentStep});
Perhaps in your OnStart you set up CurrentStepRecord like so:
Set(CurrentStepRecord, Coalesce( Lookup(DataStore, Title="CurrentStep", 'Created By'.Email = User().Email ), Patch(DataStore, Defaults(DataStore), {Title:"CurrentStep",Value="Step A"} // first step as a default ) ) )
Something like that anyway.
