Posted on by bozo88

I have a Sharepoint List with a customized Power Apps form attached.

The form has a number of icons that show (Visible = true) set to show based on the input field meeting validation requirements. Further there are error message boxes who visible property is dependent on the icon type (Cancel) AND visible (true)

A single button "Submit" calls SubmitForm(SharePointForm1) and according to documentation if this success calls OnSuccess where I have a series of ico_FirstName.Visible = false statements for all the icons they do not hide.

Use Context Variables: For each icon, instead of setting its Visible property directly, tie it to a context variable, like this:

// For icon named ico_FirstName, the Visible property varIcoFirstNameVisible

Initialize Context Variables: In the specific screen your form is on, for Screen.OnVisible, initialize the context variables

UpdateContext({varIcoFirstNameVisible: false, varIcoLastNameVisible: false, ...})

Form visibility of fields set to true: I presume your current logic sets the appropriate values to true, but you may want to adjust them to use the context variables instead of directly setting them

Reset Form and Icons in OnSuccess: In the OnSuccess property of your SharePoint form, you can both reset the form and the visibility variables:

Concurrent( ResetForm(SharePointForm1), UpdateContext({varIcoFirstNameVisible: false, varIcoLastNameVisible: false, ...}) )

See if it helps @bozo88

Thank you!!. I already have a context variable and using Concurrent in OnSuccess has solved the problem.
