Form date field default behaviour

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 68
I have a dataverse table containing a date field with no defaults, customisations, etc
I add a gallery and form to a PowerApps screen
I select a record from the gallery and edit the form to add a date value
If I now select any other record from the gallery
The empty date field is populated with the previously entered date
However in Dataverse the field is still empty
If I try something like If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'Conducted By Date'), Blank(), ThisItem.'Conducted By Date') it makes no difference
If I subsequently edit the field and add a date value it will update and retain that value correctly
 
sounds like a bug?

    Firstly why bother with the comparison - just put
    ThisItem.'Conducted By Date'
    if it is blank, it should simply display that.
    Second, if this does not work, try a Classic Date Picker - if that works, then it is a bug with the Modern Control (which is still in Preview)

    Hi Warren
    yes, I had that in originally  (default) but tried the isblank because of this error occuring with the default setting
    I must have missed the bit about modern forms being preview - I think swapping with classic will work then
     
    but yes - sounds like a bug
    thanks

    swapping to classic date picker resolves the issue.
