Hi,

I have this condition on my Form's OnSuccess property where I am checking a datacard value if its blank. If it's not, another logic will run to save data on a list. Here are the weird scenarios

1. Selected a record. i removed the data on the datacard and saved. Logic went through because my logic detected the datacard is not blank. But actually, its blank.

2. Edit the same record. datacard is still blank. Logic now detected its blank.

it's like it does not know its blank on the initial edit.

Logic is like this one.

If(Not(IsBlank(Trim( DataCardValue6.Text)))

Any advice on how i can resolve this to work properly on the first edit?

Hi @powerdevkris ,

Very strange - if you put this on a Label

Len(Trim(DataCardValue6.Text))

what does it return when the control is empty ?
