Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering an issue with my PowerApp and could use some help. Here’s the situation:

Problem:

I’m working with PowerApps and trying to configure a button within my Display Form (DetailForm1) to increment a specific field value in my data source by 1 when the button is pressed. However, the Item part of the form is highlighted in red in the code, indicating that there’s a problem with the reference.

Details:

Form Name: DetailForm1
Data Source: 'Erfolge'
Field Name in Data Source: Stimmenanzahl

The Code I’m Using:

Patch(

'Erfolge'; // Data source

DetailForm1.Item; // Refers to the currently displayed item in the form

{ Stimmenanzahl: DetailForm1.Item.Stimmenanzahl + 1 } // Increments the vote count by 1

);

Notify("Thank you for your vote!"; NotificationType.Success);

Issues:

DetailForm1.Item is highlighted in red, suggesting that PowerApps cannot recognize Item in the current context.
The data source 'Erfolge' is correctly connected and contains the Stimmenanzahl field.
