Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm building a survey app where user can can input data (Name,Address,Country) to a table called "Details". When a user in filling up a "NewForm" for the given table, there should be two buttons in my system, where one is "SAVE" and another is "SUBMIT". So after filling the form, if the user clicks "SAVE" the form should be editable again anytime, but once the user click "SUBMIT", it should be submitted and can never be edited again or the "EDIT" and "SAVE" button will be hidden after clicking "SUBMIT".

Is there anyway to work around this without using COLLECTION ?

You can do this:
1. Set a variable on the Onvisible of the
Screen: Set(HideMyIcon,true).
Then on Success property of the Form put: !HideMyIcon

2. Put the name of the Variable on the visible property of the SAVE BUTTON, EDITBUTTON: !HideMyIcon

with this the Edit Save icon would be visible after the move out of that particular screen

If the whole thing is done in a gallery instead of a Form, then follow this tread I responded earlier :

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to make a record non-editable by clicking "submit" button?

Since you may create multiple records, so using variable is not enough.

I suggest you use collection or insert another column to mark the records that you've selected "submit".

1)use collection

You could set the submit button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Form1);Collect(collection,{record_id:Form1.LastSubmit.Id})

set the save button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Form1)

set the save button's Visible:

If(ThisItem.Id in collection.record_id,false,true)

set the edit button's Visible:

If(ThisItem.Id in collection.record_id,false,true)

//if the record id is in the collection, then the record has been submitted. Then edit button and save button will both become invisible.

2)insert another column

You could set the submit button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Form1);Patch(datasource,Form1.LastSubmit,{new field:true})

set the save button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Form1);Patch(datasource,Form1.LastSubmit,{new field:false})

//the submitted record's new field value is true, others are false

set the save button's Visible:

If(ThisItem.new field=false,true,false)

set the edit button's Visible:

If(ThisItem.new field=false,true,false)

//If the record's new field value is false, then the record has not been clicked "submit". These two buttons will be visible.
