Data Properties Variable

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I'm trying to put a condition to the edit page of my form where in if two or more items (using checkbox) has been selected, the DefaultSelectedItem should be Empty, and if only a single item is chosen, it would populate the edit page with the items current attiributes.

However this code i'm using does not seem to work.

Snippet:

If(
CountRows(selected) > 1,UpdateContext({defaultsuggested:""}),

UpdateContext({defaultsuggested:"Parent.Default"})

)

I tried removing the quote on the Parent.Default but it still does not work.

Hi @Anonymous

Parent.Default is not a tring variable and it only works in the context of an element having a parent

What you could do is this
If(
CountRows(selected) > 1,UpdateContext({defaultsuggested:""}),
UpdateContext({defaultsuggested:"parent"})
)

and then in default selected items property
use If(defaultsuggested = "parent",Parent.Default,defaultsuggested)

Hi @Anonymous

For testing, add a label and specify its text property as defaultsuggested
Juts to check what value is present in defaultsuggested

Hi @RezaDorrani

As expected, It shows the "parent" when only a single checkbox is checked, but applies "" when multiple items are selected.
