Form not displaying selected item from gallery / Delete button not working in gallery

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

On this page of my app, I have gallery and an Edit Form. The OnSelect formula for the pencil icon is in the screenshot. When the pencil icon is pressed, I would like the edit form to populate the data. This typically works when you set the form to, for example, "Coursegallery.selected", but it's not working this time and I wonder if it has anything to do with using a variable. Also, my delete (trash can) button is not deleting the items either (formula - Remove('Courses',ThisItem) )

(The add new course button make a new form visible and the pencil icon makes the edit form visible). Any idea why the data is not populating?

Hi @Anonymous

So you want to edit the Course in the form on the right side of the gallery right ? The Navigate function is used to navigate from a screen to another, so if you want to stay on this screen, this is not the right formula. I would use a variable to speciffy to the form wich item to display :

Pencil.OnSelect : Set(selectedCourse,ThisItem);EditForm(EditForm1)
EditForm.Item : selectedCourse

Also, you don't need to have one form for new, one form for editing, you can use the same form and just defined if its new or edit state.

NewButton.OnSelect : NewForm(EditForm1)

For the removal, your formula looks good. what happen when you click on the trash bin ?

This worked perfectly! I had to remove the gallery and add it back with your suggestions along the way. Thank you!
