Get item from a gallery (source : collection)

Hi,

I have data in a collection

I show it in a gallery and I tell the user to select an item

But when I want to display fields of the selected item in an other screen I have an error

I store the selected item into a variable (varSelected) I can get the "name" value with varSelected.Name but not the other fields (region, function...)

For example the message error for the formula varSelected.Region is "Name isn't valid. The identifier isn't recognized" for the .Region whereas I have a Region column in my collection as you can see in the first screen ...

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Anonymous
You can also do lookup on the form Item property example Lookup(dataSource,ID,=varSelected.ID) it will do what you wanted

If you still wanted to do the variable approach on your next button you could do UpdateContext({varSelected: GalleryName.Selected}) if you aren't using a whole new Screen. Using a direct gallery.selected properties means it will auto populate the first record if nothing is selected. Variable approach also means you can disable the user from moving forward if varSelected is empty meaning they selected nothing. Just a thought from past experiences
