Dynamic Gallery Text Input Default Property

(0) Share

Posted on by kent-culpepper

Rather than using multiple galleries (and Visible property), I am attempting to use a single gallery with dynamic properties.

This idea is that based on a dropdown selection (outside of gallery), the gallery will reflect the associated datasource (Items) and associated records (in this case a text input field).

I have the dynamic 'Items' property (e.g. "Classes") of the gallery working, as expected, using a variable and switch function @ the dropdown OnChange.

But I am stuck on the gallery record\ text input Default property, e.g. ThisItem.Class_Name.

Possible? Ideas?

Hi @kent-culpepper ,

You cannot generally base a gallery on multiple alternate data sources as the resulting output will be different in each case - you have one example when referring to ThisItem.xxxx (field name), but others include Gallery.Selected.xxxx. The only way I know of doing it is basing the Items on a Collection with a lot of RenameColumns/AddColumns in the collect functions so it always has the same field structure.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

What's interesting is that it works flawlessly for the "primary" column, which has the same name ("cr8cd_name") in all 3 data sources\ tables. But the 1 other column I want to display will not populate, in all of my trial and error.
