Set dropdown value from selected gallery

Hi,

I'm creating an app which is connected to an entity in CDS.

Until now, I have used a Gallery to show all the items, and then an Edit Form to edit the fields of the selected item. I then use the SubmitForm() function to submit the changes to CDS. This works as supposed.

However, I would like a bit more freedom and flexibility with my design, so I'd would rather just add the controls I need, and then relate them to the selected record/item in the gallery instead of using an Edit Form. Is that possible?

I've tried adding a Dropdown control and setting the Items property to:

Gallery.Selected.DataSourceDropDownField

However, that doesn't do the job.

Any input is appreciated.

@Drrickryp, thanks for the link. There are some good tips in the blog post.

I have found a solution that seems to do the job for me. It was posted by @v-yamao-msft in this thread.

As a small note, I use the the Distinct function on the Items Property of the Dropdown control to only show unique values of the dropdown. Otherwise duplicate values will exist.
