Disappearing pop-up page

(0) Share

Posted on by Veronika_Kys123

Hello everyone,

I have a pop-up page on top of my "display records" page. Everything was working fine, but every time when I open the app next day the popup (mainly the gray rectangles that are separating popup from the display records page) disappear.

I have the pop up thingy in group ( with form, button etc..) and OnVisible : Copy (tried also Copy=true) and Copy is an icon in the Gallery on the "display records page".

Weird is that when I open the app next day, all I need to do is delete the command for the whole popup group and insert it again and its working... It scares me a bit cause I don't wanna do this every time after I launch the app to my colleagues.

Attaching screenshots in case. ( also with the error I am getting)

Hello,
I suspect for the variable which you are using for PopUp,
below are possiblities:
1. You might have used this kind of formula on different place
a. IsShowPopup=true
b. IsShowPopup="true"
2. On popup rectangle, Visible property
your condition could be:
If(IsShowPopup=true, true, false)
If(IsShowPopup="true",true,false)

If still issue persists,
Please paste your formula of Rectangle's Visible formula and Variable where you are setting the variable value.
Also, verify if you are setting the variable IsShowPopup value on OnScreenVisible or OnStart method.

Thank you, but I am a bit lost here.
Previously I used my icon (On Select: UpdateContext({Copy: true}) ) on the page that was linked to my popup group and the visiblity of the group was set to Copy=true.

So should I rename my icon that was named "Copy" for "IsShowPopUp"?

Hello @Veronika_Kys123 ,
Your code is right if you have used UpdateContext({Copy: true})
Now as your Copy variable is boolean,
just set Visible property of Group as Copy.

Can you also confirm, you should set the value to false as below:
UpdateContext({Copy: false}) )

Hello again,

I have my group set as Visible = Copy and my X icon as UpdateContext({Copy: false}) which is a X that is used to get of the popup back to the original page.

So just to sum it up:
Icon on original page: UpdateContext({Copy: true})
Popup group as: Visiblity: Copy
"Closing" icon button X : UpdateContext({Copy: false})

Do I need to set the variable copy somewhere? But its not varCopy... I am sorry, I am new to powerapps and I might be doing some silly mistake.

Hello @Veronika_Kys123 :
I hope all of your controls are on same screen, as then only we can use UpdateContext.

No issue of Variable Name but I would still say to rename it to VarCopy,
this will make sure that there is no ambiguity.

Yes, they are on the same screen page. 😞
Do I need to set the variable OnStart? Or something?

I changed it as:
Icon (that will take me to popup): UpdateContext({varCopy: true})
Popup group: varCopy=true
and my close icon = UpdateContext({varCopy: false})

And still not working... It's only showing part of the popup (only form + submit button) and it's visible by default when I access the original page ( the one with my icon that will lead me to my popup)

I am really desperate, I feel like there's some silly beginner mistake and i cannot make it work.

Solved by changing UpdateContext to Set function. 🙂
