Posted on by Jo_25

I have a button to allow users to compute leave duration after they selected start and end date of leave. If they did not click the button, leave duration will not be computed or recomputed after they selected or change start and end date of leave.

How do I check if the users have click compute button before allowing them to submit form.

Please help!! Any tips, guidance much appreciated.

Hi @Jo_25 ,

There are a couple of possibilities, but I would go with a Variable.

At Screen OnVisible

UpdateContext({varCalc:false})

On the OnSelect of the Compute Button

UpdateContext({varCalc:true})

On the DisplayMode of the Submit form button

If( varCalc, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

Many thanks Warren. The solution is working very well.
Now, the users will not be able to submit the form when they did not click the compute button. All thanks to your help!! 😀

I have another issue with the compute button - not related to the solution you offered.
The compute button is able to compute the no of leave requested and stored it in a global variable - _requestedDays. However, the Duration field (which is a number field in Sharepoint) is not being updated with the _requestedDays when I do a SubmitForm to create the new record in Sharepoint.
I read from some forum post that I need to set the Default property of the Duration card to
If(!IsBlank(_requestedDays), _requestedDays, ThisItem.Duration) but somehow Duration field in Sharepoint is not updating. See screen capture below. How can the Duration field be updated? Please help.

Hi @Jo_25 ,

I have answered you over on the new post you did.

I suspect I am in a different time zone to you (I am at UTC + 10 - Eastern Australia)
