Powerapps creating New Form when I am in edit mode

(0) Share

Posted on by TorreyF

Let me preface by mentioning that I'm pretty new to this, so please keep that in mind if you are able to help with this.

I created a powerapp from a Sharepoint list using the option from the sharepoint list where it says "Create a Powerapp", so it automatically came up with most of the functions itself.

The problem I'm having is that it created the form so that the same screen is used when adding a new entry, and when editing. I have no issue with this, other then when I select a previously submitted entry to edit, instead of modifying that entry, it submits a new entry and both the old and the newly modified one are in the list.

I honestly don't know which property to change to fix this problem. If you can help, please let me know what screenshots (which functions) would be helpful for you to see.

Thanks in advance

When you click the "+" to create a new record it should bring you to the Edit screen but put change the form mode to new. When you save the form a new record will be created and then you will be brought back to browse screen. If you click on a record in the browse gallery it should bring you to the Edit screen and set the form mode to edit and populate the screen with the data from the selected record. You can make changes and click on save. Then those changes should be saved to the existing record and you should be brought back to the Browse screen.

Did you make any changes to the auto generated app? Are you selecting the previously created record from the browse screen using ">" on the gallery row?

Hi @TorreyF ,

Did you mean the custom form created from SharePoint site directly? If so, please check the OnEdit property of SharePointIntegration contro. Make sure the formula is:

EditForm(SharePointForm1)

Check the Item property of Form control, make sure it is:

If(IsBlank(SharePointIntegration.Selected) || IsEmpty(SharePointIntegration.Selected),First('YourListName'),SharePointIntegration.Selected)

For more information, please refer to:
