I would like to disable the 'Reject', 'Cancel' and 'Request Change' buttons when the 'Approve' button is clicked.  I thougth the below formula would work, but it didn't.

    Switch(chosenBtn=btnApprove,
     true, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

     

    and add this to the approve buttons onselect

    @TheRobRush ,

     

    What does this do?  

    UpdateContext({chosenBtn:Self})

    I'm confused by the 'Self'

    @TheRobRush ,

     

    Also, how do I enable those buttons again once I navigate away from the page?  When I go to the same page with a different item, those buttons are still disabled.

    UpdateContext({chosenBtn:Blank()})
