I have a paginated editable gallery. For pagination i used hidden gallery technique so this means other gallery is loading data based on hidden gallery.

My issue now is if i edit data on page 1 then go to page 2 and if i don't save data on page 1 before navigating to page 2 - all edited data is lost.

my goal is to edit what i need on all pages and then hit save button.

What would be your recomendations?

Hi @jja ,

You will need to at least save the edited data to a collection, then in the end on the Save button update the data source based on the collection.

Hope this helps.

Hi @v-jefferni
Is there some good example on that.
I am seeing an issue that my gallery is loading from another gallery

Hi @jja ,

I was only saying the principle, input data in a Gallery will be reset to their "default" when navigating to other screens so saving changes or inputs to the data source like dataset or collection will keep the changes. A common method is set Patch or Update OnChange of the controls that in the Gallery:

Patch(ItemsOfGallery, ThisItem, {RespectiveColumn: TextInput.Text})

Another method is save the modifications to another collection to use for the second Gallery:

Collect(colNewItems,{Column1: TextInput1.Text, Column2: TextInput2.Text, ...})

Hope this helps.

@v-jefferni i got your point
i will need to give it a test.
I have came to another much easier idea of to submit the edited data whenever user clicks "next" or previous arrow 🙂
