Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello! I have one question about the possibility to customize a function on a model-driven app. I would like to use another main form to create a new record of a table which I show on a page of my app, an the principal main form which is created automatically by dataverse whenever I want to see details. On power Pages it is possible. How can I set the "CorsiTipo prova" main form as a form to create a new record, and the "Informazioni" one only to see details?

Hi @Veronica22 ,

This is tricky but not impossible.

Below are some scenarios since I'm not sure what you want at the end,

Scenario 1.You can use 1 Form to perform this both actions.

Let's say when you click 'New Record/Add Record' then you open a Form. using JavaScript, detect FormType and only show sections of Form where you want to add the information.

Once saved, hide/show sections or Tabs of your Form where you have 'All Details' (You can have those Read-Only).

To Edit the record, use a Toggle Field 'Edit' when checked/true fire JS to show only editing section of the Form. Once saved, revert the Flag and show 'All Details' section.

Scenario 2.

When you select and open a Record, does all fields in them are Read-Only? Then when you select Edit, you want to Open another Form to Edit?

=> If this is the case, then your main (details) form should be Read-Only and on Ribbon Button you can use Custom Edit Button when clicked, open new Form with editing action.

Hope this helps
