Im trying make a function where you can edit already done inspections, im trying to retrive data back from 3 lists, and decided to retrieve them back into collection.

How can get "Answer" value to be correct for each record ,right now with this formula it gets the value of the first record in 'Inspection answers' and puts it on all records in the collection

This formula is in a gallery onselect on an already done inspection

ClearCollect(
 colQuestionsEdit,
 AddColumns(
 ShowColumns(
 QuestionList,
 "ID",
 "Title",
 "TitleENG",
 "TitleRU",
 "Requirement",
 "RequirementENG",
 "RequirementRU",
 "Value",
 "Order" ),
 "Answer",
 LookUp('Inspection answers',ThisItem.ID=ResponseID).Answer,
 "Values",
 "",
 "Comment",
 "",
 "Score",
 "",
 "MinusScore",
 ""
 )
);

I assume it can be done with ForAll, but i dont know how to integrate it

Hi @Jiis ,

Try this

ClearCollect( colQuestionsEdit, AddColumns( ShowColumns( QuestionList, "ID", "Title", "TitleENG", "TitleRU", "Requirement", "RequirementENG", "RequirementRU", "Value", "Order" ), "Answer", LookUp('Inspection answers',ResponseID = ID).Answer, "Values", "", "Comment", "", "Score", "", "MinusScore", "" ) );

Hi @WarrenBelz
Thank you for replying
This does not seem to work. Now im getting "?" in my records. In here ResponseID and ID are being compared and i think they come from the same list, ThisItem.ID comes from another list.

@Jiis ,,

Where are you running this from as a ThisItem reference needs to be inside a Form or a Gallery. The problem is if you refer to ThisItem.ID, you will always get the same record reference. Usually with AddColumns, you would need to refer to the ID of each record (so just plain ID) so each could look up the other list.

I am now quite unclear what you are trying to achieve here.

Thank you for making me realize, I found the solution, i had two mistakes, since ID column exists in every list lookup didnt know which one to pick, so i renamed the id column. And also i didnt make the connection between Question Id and Answer ID, this is the formula
ClearCollect( colQuestionsEdit, AddColumns( RenameColumns( ShowColumns( QuestionList, "ID", "Title", "TitleENG", "TitleRU", "Requirement", "RequirementENG", "RequirementRU", "Value", "Order" ), "ID", "IID" ), "Answer", LookUp( 'Inspection answers', IID = QuestionID && ThisItem.ID = ResponseID ).Answer, "Values", "", "Comment", "", "Score", "", "MinusScore", "" ) );
