Make parent throw error

Posted on by Yitzhak

I wanted to do some simple data validation to a form text box. I found that there were automatically generated color changes and a text box to display errors if "Parent.Error" wasn't blank. Is there a way to manually have this fire? Or is this simply if you end up breaking powerapps somehow?

Hi @Yitzhak,

You may have interests using the Validate function:

Validate function in PowerApps

Quoted:

"

The Validate function checks whether the value of a single column or a complete record is valid for a data source.

Before a user submits a data change, you can provide immediate feedback on the validity of that submission, resulting in a better user experience.

"

Also adding the errors function:

Errors function in PowerApps

"

Provides error information for previous changes to a data source.

"

Michael

@v-micsh-msft Thank you for the information, though im just wondering where would I put those functions? Would it be in the textbox?

Hi @Yitzhak,

You should add a button and then under the OnSelect property of the Button, use the function I mentioned in my previous post.
