I've got an application which has 10 sections

Due to numerous reasons i've had to divide the application into 10 different sections, each with an individual collection

The problem i have is that when i go away from the screen to another screen, the collection will disappear. So anything I've typed into the text box or even the number of text boxes will reset and delete.

How do i design it such that when i leave the screen, none of the information is lost and it stays there

I would eventually want several users to be able to use this concurrently, so perhaps a save button could help? But i'm unsure what to write in it

1 section of the app. Press "+Add task" to add a new textbox and checkbox. I've had to write this formula for that button to work: Collect(TaskB10,CountRows(TaskB10))

The current OnVisible property of the screen

Hi @Anonymous ,

The reason for the data reset may be that you have not saved it. I suggest you save the required data to the corresponding field.

Is taskB10 a collection used to store the value of TextInput? I assume you want to store the contents of TaskB10 into a collection, and I named this collection with "TaskB10".

If you want to store the value of the TextInput into a collection, you can follow this.

On the OnHidden of my Screen:

Collect(TaskB10,{stuff1:"",stuff2:""})

On the OnSelect of a button:

Patch(TaskB10,Defaults(TaskB10),{stuff1:TextInput2.Text,stuff2:TextInput3.Text});

Then it will save the value in two TextInput and the value in TaskB10 will not disappear after you changed the Screen.

If you want to get the number of records in the collection, you can also set it like I did in the above picture.

Hope it will help.

Best regards,

Rimmon Li
