Hello,
I have 2 forms in my app called EditForm1 & EditForm 2
On form 2 i have 1 button, i would like to save both forms with that single button.
But how??
In the "OnSelect" property of the Button just do:
"SubmitForm(EditForm1);;SubmitForm(EditForm2)"
Of course if those forms are connected in the same data source, it would create 2 records in that data source, if those 2 forms are referred to the same record you should add one and then update that record with the ID created by the data source.
Regards,
i used SubmitForm(EditForm1);;SubmitForm(EditForm2) before, but indeed it create 2 records, i would like to have them in one record, what do i have to do to save the forms in the same record.
I'm not a application developer, so i realy dont have any clue of what i have to do right now
Hi @Anonymous
I am not a fan of PowerApps forms, have little experience with them so what I suggest may need a little adjusting:
SubmitForm(EditForm1);;Patch(YourDataSource; EditForm1.LastSubmit; EditForm2.Updates)
Please let me know what happens.
I tried your code but, i get an unknown error.
OK, difficult to help further in that case.
As I have mentioned before, please let me know when you are ready to leave forms and use the single controls instead.
@Anonymous did you manage to get round this. am trying to do same thing and been looking.
@Meneghinohow do you mean 'leave forms and use the single controls instead'. i'm new to powerapps and thought everything is forms based.
Hi @d2S
Basically you can use Patch, Update, Remove etc. functions to write to a data source wthout the need for forms.
If you need user input, you can for example use the value of the text of a text input control (say TextInput1) to write a new record in a data source like this:
Patch(MyDataSource, Defaults(MyDataSource), {MyTextField: TextInput1.Text})
You can also include calculated variables based on the current time, etc. etc.
You can find references to all these functions here:

I just did it another way. I removed the second screen and placed them all in one screen.
