Hello,

Can you use this as a reference?
- Button1.OnSelect = ClearCollect(ColItems,{ItemName:"Item1"},{ItemName:"Item2"},{ItemName:"Item3"},{ItemName:"Item4"})
- TextInput1 (to add new records)
- Button2.OnSelect = If(LookUp(ColItems,ItemName=TextInput1.Text,true),
Notify("The item "&TextInput1.Text&" already exists",NotificationType.Warning),
Collect(ColItems,{ItemName:TextInput1.Text}))
- Gallery1.Items = ColItems

If you type Item5 in the TextInput1 and press Button2, you can see the item in the gallery. If you try to do the same you will see a warning message because Item5 already exists. Hope this helps

Hello Sir 🙂

You can try to do a LookUp like this one:
LookUp(ColItems,ItemName=TextInput1.Text,true)
as a condition in an If statement.
ColItems is the table you want to check if the new item exists
ItemName is the Column in the table you want to check if the new item exists
TextInput1.Text is the input of the user. The new Item that is about to be added or not
true is returned if the condition ItemName=TextInput1.Text is met.
Check the Button2.OnSelect expression and maybe try to recreate the example on the previous post. It can help you to find a solution for your issue

Can you try if this works?

If(LookUp(EmpAndApprover,Approver=DatacardValue11,true),
Notify("The item "&DatacardValue11&" already exists",NotificationType.Warning),
SubmitForm(Form2);Navigate(AdminDashboard,ScreenTransition.Fade);Refresh(EmpAndApprover))
