Hello,

I am trying to set visibility of several controls on the screen using the following condition, which is working fine for Edit and New form modes but when the form is opened in View mode, the value set in the variable is not coming into effect when the form is loaded at first, it works when the form is opened the second time.

I first wrote my condition in OnVisible() of the Screen, I also wrote an explicit call to Navigate to the Screen in OnView of SharePointIntegration to make sure that the OnVisible() was getting called, following is what I wrote on OnVisible()

If(DVEntity.Selected.Value ="Classic" && (drpTypeOfTeam.Selected.'Type of Team' = "Proposal") && Lower(drpDept.Selected.Title) in Lower(InternationDepartments), UpdateContext({ShowIDDGBDUControls:true}), UpdateContext({ShowIDDGBDUControls:false}));
If(DVEntity.Selected.Value ="Classic" && drpTypeOfTeam.Selected.'Type of Team' = "Proposal" && Lower(drpDept.Selected.Title) in Lower(DomesticDepartments), UpdateContext({ShowDomesticGBDUControls:true}),UpdateContext({ShowDomesticGBDUControls:false}));

And this is what i have in OnView()

Refresh('Teams Creation Form');
ViewForm(TeamRequestForm);
Navigate(FormScreen1,Transition.None);

I also tried moving the condition to OnView() instead and created Global Variable using Set() but the result was same.

This is what i have in Visible of one of the controls,

(ShowDomesticGBDUControls || ShowIDDGBDUControls)

Is there something that i am missing? again this is only happening when the form is opened in View mode for the first time for each item.
Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Welcome to Variables and Integrated forms . . . I can never get these triggers (OnVisible and App OnStart) to trigger consistently on a subsequent record selection without refreshing the SharePoint list, so my users know to simply do that. The problem I believe is that the form is already "open" and helpfully (in the eyes of the app) simply displays the next record you select. Refreshing SP seems to reset all of this.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

Thank you for your input! the problem turned out to be that I was referring to the controls in the condition, which didn't have values in the first load, i looked up the record and replaced the control values with the record value and it started working.
Thank you again!
