Hi,
I am trying to have multiple gallery's that are linked to an edit form on one page of an app.

I have got this far by having three buttons that hide and show the gallery plus the form associated to that gallery, i wonder if i could make the selection variable so its just one form instead of 3.

On the selection button it sets a variable for "Set(varformselection, Gallery5_1)"

the form then has this code on the items : but it just seems to through me an error. Is it possible to use a variable in this way?

Thanks but now the form is not cycling as you click different records in the gallery as the button is locking the selection in the variable

Hi @IanP87

Update the Variable on Gallery Selection. Instead of setting the variable only once when the button is clicked, you could update the variable each time a different record is selected in the gallery.

Try setting the variable in the OnSelect property of the gallery items.
Set(varformselection, ThisItem)
