Form within a Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

I have two data sources, Commissions and Tasks (1:Many) which are linked by the Commission ID.

 

On the app I have a gallery (CommissionGallery) showing a list all of the commissions, and then a form (CommissionForm) next to it which users can view/edit the commission.

Commission is split into 4 sections, one of those sections is "Tasks" and within that section I've got another gallery (TaskGallery) showing a list of the tasks for the selected Commission in CommissionGallery (shown in the first image)

 

That part is all working perfectly, having the tasks in CommissionForm means I can have the sections be collapsible instead of showing the tasks on a different screen/visible property set to show on a button etc.

 

Problem: I want to be able to view/edit the full task details in a pop-up window which includes another form (TaskForm) (see the second image). I have the item property set as TaskGallery.Selected, which works when TaskGallery is not contained within a form, but when its within CommissionForm the popup (TaskForm) shows "No item to display" when its in live mode or just blank in studio, except for the Commission ID.

 

I assume there's too many form from a gallery within another form coming from another gallery problems.

 

Apologies for the annoying blocks, hopefully it still makes sense

    The solution to this is to set the Item property of TaskForm to a variable (eg, varSelectedTask).

    You can then set this variable in the OnSelect property of the galleries that open TaskForm.

    Set(varSelectedTask, ThisItem)

    Thank you so much, I can't believe the answer was so simple but at the same time I would never have thought of that.
