Posted on by Johnson1

Hi,

I want to condition the Default property in a text input in a Form. If is a NewForm should be empty that will be filled after a selection from a DataTable, if is a EditForm should be a corresponding line from my sharepoint selection list based on a gallery selection.

something like this

If(NewForm(Form1),Parent.Default,Left((Split("TextInput3", ";")).Result))

where Form1 is the EditForm that I am using to edit and add new records and TextInput3 is the TextInput that is having the selected line from Data Table

No need for If().

Coalesce(Parent.Default,Left((Split("TextInput3", ";")).Result))

Parent.Default will be blank for new forms.

Thank you for your quick reply @Drrickryp ,

I am getting this error

I need for this this InputText from this EditForm to behave in three different ways for this reason I thought that IF
will help me

1. View corresponding field from selected line in a gallery
2. Be empty in case of NewForm(Add new Record) is pressed to add a new record (will get updated once I will select a line from DataTable by picking up the value from TextInput3 )
3 Get same value as the TextInput3

ATM only first two are fulfilled,

Coalesce() reads values from left to right until it finds a non-blank value. It can contain any number of elements.

Solved, through IF statment on default property

If(IsBlank(Parent.Default),TextInput3 ,Parent.Default)

Thank you for your suggestion, did not knew about Coalesce() function use/behaviour, something new every day 🙂
