Hi All,

A little but of a newbe working with PowerApps and have a question hope someone can help with.

I created an app from my data which works great, the browse page takes me to each record as expected.

I wanted to have two browse pages, I set up the original with a barcode scanner and bring up a product which works great however I also wanted a browse page where user could search for a product by text.

I duplciated the original browse page however when a click a product in the text search page it seems to bring a different product in the details page. It seems that it is still attached to the original barcode browse page but i cant see in the button code where this is working. the code is simply "Navigate(DetailScreen1, ScreenTransition.Fade)".

Is there a way to have both browse screens working independantly to ensure the correct details page is shown when a record is selected from either the barcode screen or the text search screen.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @RossyBergg,

Before going any further, please first take a look at the following page for how the form works in PowerApps:

Understand canvas-app forms in Microsoft PowerApps

The Duplicated Browse Screen still connected to the Details screen, but the Form control within the Details screen are not bound to the Duplicated one.

Things that need to be noticed.

1. Each form control will only work with one single record, and this record need to be specified under the item property, in Gallery scenaro, it would be Gallery.Selected,

2. If you would like to have Duplicated Browse screen to have its selected record showing under the Detailscreen, it is recommended to Dumplcate the DetailScreen together, and then map the record with some modifications.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Michael
