Hi @eka24

I am using Powerapps with D365FO
When i submit a form it will create record through D365FO ,Error will be thrown from D365FO implementation

I need to show the error in separate screen i have done this using form.error

I dont want to display the same error as notification.by default when there is an error in submit form it displays the error as notification.

Hi @Hasini ,

Do you want to hide the error notification generated by system like this?

If so, I suggest you try IfError function.

The syntax of this function is:

IfError( Value1, Fallback1 [, Value2, Fallback2, ... [, DefaultResult ] ] )

You could use the update formula as the first parameter to test error. But to use this function, you need the second parameter as Fallback.

If you only want to display nothing when meeting errors, try this formula to update your data source.

IfError( SubmitForm(Form2),"") //SubmitForm(Form2) is my formula to update my formula, you could replace with your formula to update data source

Then, if you have no error, you will update record. If you have error, you will have no error message and not update record successfully.

Here's a doc about this function for your reference:

Best regards,

Hi @v-yutliu-msft ,

I have used the below formula for creating the record for error handling

IfError(SubmitForm(EditForm3),Navigate(ErrorScreen,ScreenTransition.None,{locErrorMessages: EditForm3.Error}))

But i am getting the error message as notification and it is not navigating to the error screen

Hi @Hasini ,

1/To use IfError function, firstly you need to turn on this setting:

2/I found that no matter you use what formula in the second parameter, it will show a notification.

But you could use Notify function to change the error message to other words in this error notification.

Try this:

IfError(SubmitForm(EditForm3), Notify("You failed to submit the form");Navigate(ErrorScreen,ScreenTransition.None,{locErrorMessages: EditForm3.Error}) )

Then the error notification will change to "You failed to submit the form" and you will navigate to errorscreen.

About totally hide the error notification, I'm afraid it's not supported now in powerapps. I suggest you post your idea here:
