Stop "Save" button from resetting and hiding Sharepoint List PowerApps form

Posted on by ENatheAD

Hello! I have a PowerApps form that is so close to being done... I have my own "Save" button on the using submitform(). However, in use, whenever you hit save, it closed the form out. I removed the ResetForm(); RequestHide() from OnSuccess SharepointForm1 and that does keep the form open, however when you hit save, the form fields are repopulated with data from another submission. I have tried changing the item properties to "If(IsBlank(SharePointIntegration.Selected),SharePointForm1.LastSubmit,SharePointIntegration.Selected)" but that did not seem to do it.

I have tried a whole slew of other things as well and nothing seems to do the trick. I am hoping someone from this community can at least point me in the right direction or if anyone has done this before and knows what I need to do, that would be awesome.

Please let me know if there is any other information you may need from me!

Hi @ENatheAD ,

When you click Save (with the SubmitForm function for OnSelect), is it your goal to write the data back to SharePoint and then have a fresh new input form appear in your app?

If so, try:
Button OnSelect: SubmitForm(FormNameHere)
Form OnSuccess: NewForm(FormNameHere); Reset(FormNameHere)

*If this resolves your question, please give this response a thumbs up and accept my solution as it will help others when troubleshooting.*

Hello @mpistil! Thank you for the quick reply.

So actually what we need to happen when someone clicks "Save" (with the SubmitForm function for OnSelect) is for it to write the data back to SharePoint, which it is, and to keep the same form open, so they can continue to modify it. Does that make sense?

@ENatheAD ,

I'm not sure how your overall app functions, but it might be easier in the long run to have this form's Save button OnSelect be SubmitForm() and then its OnSuccess be ResetForm(), NewForm(), Navigate() and then navigate to a page with either a data table or gallery of all previously entered records. Then, should the user need to edit any of those records, they could open that particular one up and continue to edit and save those changes back to SharePoint.

That way, you can keep entry of new records and editing of records separate processes.
