Hi @Nick2020,

You would use the UpdateContext() function to create a context variable using the OnCheck property of the toggle.

UpdateContext({TogOn:true})

and the OnUncheck property

UpdateContext({TogOn:false})

Then, for example, you could use TogOn to control the visibility of a label instructing the user to make a choice from the Dropdown control.

If you put

UpdateContext({TogOn:false})

In the OnChange property of the dropdown control once the dropdown value was changed, the value of TogOn would be reset.

You could use TogOn to control the DisplayMode of the submit button and disable it unless your conditions are met. An example would be putting this formula in its DisplayMode property.

If(TogOn && IsBlank(Dropdown1.Selected.Value),DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

There are many ways of playing with the context variable to alter the properties of various controls on your screen.

Hi @Nick2020,

Could you please share a bit more about the Frequency Dropdown that you mentined? Is it a Combo Box control?

Do you want to check/detect if the Toggle control is on, and at least one option has been selected within the Combo Box?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the If function could achieve your needs in PowerApps. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following formula:

If(
Toggle1.Value = true && !IsEmpty(ComboBox1.SelectedItems),
"Type your submit form formula here"
)

Note: The ComboBox1 represents the Frequency Combo Box control within your app.

Best regards,
