Button Display Mode not changing

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I am having troubles with the display mode of my submit button. Basically, if the message "You cannot submit, there are empty or imporperly formatted fields." (CanSub) is visible, then the display mode of the Submit button is supposed to be disabled, to prevent the user from submitting. However, as shown below, this does not seem to be working properly. It works ~50% of the time, and I'm not entirely sure why. Attached are the message, the vDisplayMode condition of the submit button, and the visibility condition of CanSub.

Both of the submit button and CanSub are inside a DataCardValue whose DisplayMode is edit. If there is more information needed, please let me know

Since you have so many variables in play, you might want to add a debug screen which displays each of the variables you are using in a label so you can determine exactly which test is causing this to fail for you. If you still can't isolate, I would recommend, running each test independently to see if it generates the results you expect. I don't see anything blatently wrong (someone else might), so that is how I would attack a problem like this, particuarly when you indicate it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There must be a specific condition you are hitting you aren't expecting which is causing the failures.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Do you want to change the button's DisplayMode according to CanSub's visible?
You need to use condition to justify CanSub's visible.
Try this formula:
If(CanSub.Visible=true,Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

Thanks, I didn't think I had to be that explicit, I was assuming PowerApps would take CanSub's true/false value on its own. I will keep this in mind!

Is the CanSub message displaying at the right time every time - in other words, is your logic to show or not show the message 100% correct? If not, I recommend validating one Form Status at a time to ensure the message is always set correctly. Once that works reliably, then focus on the next step -- setting the button property.
