How to make a Dropdown working in View Mode?

(0) ShareShare

Hello,

 

I have a custom datacard in a form showing all attached files in a SharePoint list . The user should be able to preview the attachements by selecting one from a dropdown (here images, html or 3D files).

All works fine in Edit mode:

But in View mode the dropdown is not selectable:

Is there a way to have the dropdown which is not connected to any data field (only reads and shows the list of Attachements) usable in view mode?

 

Thank you for your help.

    You can forse Edit mode.

    Try to configure datacard field DisplayMode property as:

     

    DisplayMode.Edit

    I already done this for the card and the dropdown with no effect (set to `DisplayMode.Edit` and `Edit`)

    Seams like all children are forced to the display mode of the parent (Sharepoint Form / Form Screen / App ???)
