Barcode Scanner Populating SharePoint Data

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have an app where I utilize the Barcode scanner. I am able to get the barcode button to populate the datacard text box, but when I go to edit the form the scanned data in the datacard does not show up. It is still there because if you were to save without editing this section it would show up in the detail form. Is there a way to get the scanned data to populate showing the user that the field has already been filled out and they dont need to edit it. I am able to show the scanned value data if the default for the text box is Parent.Default, but if I do this my scan button no longer populates the datacard text box if I need to overwrite what is already there. Vice versa if I have the datacard text box default set to scanValue 1 it will be able to scan and put in the data but will not show up when you go edit the form again.

Any thoughts or help would be great.

Here are some screenshots:

Thanks for the help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try to apply If/else logic to Default property of text box.

If(IsBlank(scanValue1), Parent.Default, scanValue1)

You also need to reset the scanValue1 variable, try to append the following code the OnSelect property of Check icon.

Set(scanValue1,Blank())

Please try it on to see if it makes sense for your case.
