Hi @Bash--

Unfortunately, We can't use the timer since timer data will be lost once the session ends or closed the application. The right design is to store it in Data Source.

For Example, Once the user pressed the button

UserEmail DateTimePressed
Bash@mail.com 02/17/2022 17:50 PM
Stalin@mail.com 02/16/2022 10:00 AM

When the form Loads Set the display mode of the button to
With({item: LookUp(DataSource, UserEmail = User().Email, DateTimePressed)}, If(IsBlank(item) || DateDiff(Now(),item, Days) > 30, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled) )

Thanks, Stalin

Hi @Bash--

Set OnSelect property of the button to
Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), { UserEmail : User().Email, DateTimePressed: Now() } )

@StalinPonnusamy Thanks for the quick response. Last query related to this. Is powerApps will always pick the latest date. As we patch will add the date in the data source not update.
Thanks you so much

HI @Bash--

Good catch. The above patch always creates a new one. In our case, the user can press/click it again. So we need to change the patch function.

Set OnsSelect property of the button to
With({item: LookUp(DataSource, UserEmail = User().Email, DateTimePressed)}, Patch(DataSource, If(IsBlank(item), Defaults(DataSource), item), { UserEmail : User().Email, DateTimePressed: Now() } ) )

Note: The above code creates a new record for the first time and then updates the existing one after that.

Sorry for the late response because of the time zone. I just started my day.

Thanks, Stalin
