Issue working with parameters for RecordInfo()

Report

Posted on by licdar87

Hello,

I'm trying to check whether a record in my DataSource can be edited by the current user. To achieve so, the documentation mentions the RecordInfo() method, however I can't figure out why whatever I try to pass as the second argument (enum_inforecord), it always throws a "invalid argument" error.

I then tried to copy-paste the most basic example supplied by the documentation itself, but the error still appears.

Can you please help me figure out what's wrong?

Thanks

Hi Good Day
The issue you’re encountering is that RecordInfo() does not work with collections. It only works with records coming directly from a connected data source (such as a SharePoint list, Dataverse table, or SQL table) that has permission metadata available.

In your example, you are using:

Collect(MyCollection; [1; 2; 3]);
RecordInfo(First(MyCollection); RecordInfo.DeletePermission)

You need to call RecordInfo() on a record from your actual data source, for example:

RecordInfo(
First(YourDataSource),
RecordInfo.EditPermission
)

RecordInfo(
ThisItem,
RecordInfo.EditPermission
)

RecordInfo() requires:

A live connection to the data source

A record that includes permission metadata

@Vish WR

Thanks for your reply.

As I originally wrote, I first tried using that method directly against my DataSource, but I still receive the same error.

This is a snippet of my code:

RecordInfo(BrowseGallery1.Selected; RecordInfo.EditPermission)

Where BrowseGallery1 is linked to a Sharepoint List and correctly shows my records

@licdar87,

RecordInfo when used on a record only works for Dataverse (not SharePoint) as the metadata necessary is not present.
