Hi everybody;

I want to make a toggle to hide/unhide some cards on a form and refresh data in these cards to default or blank if it unchecks.

How can I do that?

Hi @carem ,

Set the OnUncheck property of each toggle controls to:

ResetForm(FormName)

For hide/unhide use a variable:

Hide: Toggle.OnUnCheck = UpdateContext({ varHide: false })
Unhide: Toggle.OnCheck = UpdateContext({ varHide: true })

then for any datacards you wish to hide/unhide
DataCard.Visible = varHide

Follow Sik's comment for the refresh

@v-monli-msft @Anonymous
I don't want to refresh entire form. I want to set the value or text of fields invisible from switch toggle become 0 or blank.
Example above:
I want when I switch the first toggle: All the fields in the first line invisible and set the value of that field to 0/blank.
Similar to the 2nd line.
How I can do that?

@carem my comment will work for your hide/unhide part

for the reset, are the default properties of your DataCards 0/blank? If so, you could add the Reset() function to my above OnCheck code like this:

Toggle.OnCheck = [above code ] ; Reset(DataCard1); Reset(DataCard2) ...

If the datacard values are not 0/blank then you'll likely have to create an If() statement

@Anonymous
Reset() function will work perfect if the form is in New Mode.
But if the Form is in Edit Mode, Reset() will return the default value of this item, it's mean it will return the old data of these fields.
Can you give me more information about the approach with "if statement" you mention above?

@carem the If() statement will sit in the Default property of each card, eg

I assume your DataCards default values look something like:
eg. DataCard.Default = ThisItem.'Child age'

Change it to:
DataCard.Default = If( !varHide, Blank(), ThisItem.'Child age')
If you are not yet aware, you need to unlock each datacard before you can change any of their properties.

Also, when I had a quick play with hiding datacards, when I hid an entire row/line the line below moved up. That's going to get a little messy to control - and don't ask me how to do it - please 🙂

Also, when I tested I used two variable, one for each line. I think that may work better?
