Default Radio Button Not Saving Updated Selection

Posted on by Sniderj1

I've spent hours trying to solve this radio button form issue and read thru a dozen posts. I have a SP list with a Power App form for data entry and edits. I have a radio button field called Needs Funding? that defaults to No. That part works. However, when a user updates it to, say 'Yes', saves, and then opens it in edit mode, the record reverts back to 'No.' For the radio list, I have 3 options that pull from the List Settings on the SP list: Yes, No, TBD that pull through the Items field. That works fine.

In the Default field, I've tried just a simple "No" and the snippet below. They all set the default to No and allow and update, but when the items is opened again to edit, it reverts back to No. The user has to manually reset it to the non-default value each time it's opened. How do I resolve this? Thanks!!

If(FormMode.New, "No", ThisItem.'Needs Funding?'.Value)

Hello!
Quick test on my side and it didn't work with your formula ( If(FormMode.New, "No", ThisItem.'Needs Funding?'.Value) ) but I made it work with updating the condition of If-function by following:

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'Needs Funding?'.Value), "No", ThisItem.'Needs funding'.Value)

Hope this solves your problem!

Hello @Sniderj1, use the following syntax

"Form Name".Mode = New

Hi @Sniderj1

Can you verify that:

1. The form isn't in New Mode when you want to Edit it (see whats in the back end) if not then verify that as it will just keep defaulting if you dont see the form to Edit mode

This seems the most logical based on your code

2. Is the back end actually updated, not that it would matter if #1 is accurate as data or not if it things its New you are always going to get NO

That seems to me the problem since you have no other code to set it to No (I assume)

So put a Text Label and write out an If in the Text field

If(FormMode.New, "New", "Edit")

Then if this says New, there is your issue.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers
