Basic Question - I'm Having Trouble Editing These Text Inputs (Field Map)???

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hey all,

 

I'm a first time poster here and I've only just recently begun learning how to use Power Apps, so I do understand that this question may be a bit basic.

 

I'm having the hardest time trying to edit each text input individually on this field map. I've posted a screenshot below.

As an example, I'd like to edit the text inputs a little bit. For instance, 'amountdue' would be 'Amount Due' and 'shippingAddress' would be 'Shipping Address.' Power Apps is only allowing me to edit the first text input (amountdue), but is not giving me the ability to edit the other text inputs individually. It's almost as if everything is 'locked,' so to speak. As far as my limited training has shown, I should be able to easily edit the text inputs individually? Though, now I'm wondering if this may have to do with the fact that this is a Field Map. 

 

Is it possible to edit these text inputs individually? If so, what am I doing wrong and how can I go about this? 

 

I don't know if this is relevant at all, but this is a Document Automation Application that was taken from Power Automate (in other words, I did not create this app from the ground up). 

 

Thanks!

    Hey! Yes. If that is a form, please, right click and after that, unlock the data card. If not, you can jsut edit 1 by one or multiple by selecting them

    Hey,

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

    Unfortunately, theres no way to unlock it because it's not locked at all. 

     

    Right clicking it does not give me the option to lock or unlock it.

     

    And I'm not entirely sure this is a form.

    That is a gallery. A gallery show all itens in a data source. Plus, when you edit the first one, you EDIT ALL

     

    Learn about gallery:

    Yeah, I did figure out that it was a gallery eventually. 

     

    What do you think is the best way to go about editing the text inputs individually in a gallery then? Should I go back into my data source to edit the text inputs? 

     

    Thanks

    What do you mean by that?

    A gallery is to show itens

     

    Imagine that you have 4 itens with this colluns: Name and Title

     

    Name1    Title1

    Name2    Title2

    Name3    Title3

    Name 4   Title4

     

    The gallery show something like that.

    If you want to edit an item, create an icon in the gallery and, when you press it, navigate to a screen with the form. There, set the item of the form to: Gallery1.Selected

     

    There tou can edit the item. You just have to submit form, etc, etc.
