As PowerApp Portal is anonymous access, if we want to save the temporary session like save as draft for current session ? Is that possible ? Is PowerApp Portal has viewbag like concept to save current session ?

Hi @Steveykyu ,

I don't think there is an way to save the form where you left off in portal. If it is a web page/ web form /entity form you can try using JavaScript with LocalStorage / Session Storage to implement this. May be the latest method is running service worker behind the scenes that will save the state. Again this is a custom development.

Hope it helps.

I agree with @ragavanrajan. There is no way to store it cache/session for portal. We save draft status in DB for logged-in user.

You can achieve that with different approaches:

custom web api to save the record (might be too much work)

a custom button on your web form that will (via JS) set an attribute in your table to save as draft and then the same JS code triggers the normal save/next button

after this you would need a backend code (plugin) that will enforce/manipulate the Web Form Session record so it stays on the same step

I haven't done that myself but should be doable, also take a look at this video from Elaiza Benitez that might help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmQshkUx0mE

I am probably complicating things here
