Duplicating form so user can make multiple entries but submit once

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Here I have a holiday tracker, obviously it's common for users to need to submit multiple holidays at once. How can I duplicate the form when a user select the "+" button so they can populate the form twice but only need to submit it once?

 

I would expect once the + is selected, that what is seen in the image below appears twice on the screen?

Hopefully this makes sense...

    If you're looking to dynamically add items, you'll need to use a Gallery control because Forms can only handle one item at a time, and you can't add a Form control to a gallery.

     

    Here are some suggestions:

    • Use a Gallery to display a collection with columns for Start Date, End Date, Half Day, and Days. Initialize the collection with an initial row of data.
    • Each time the user clicks "Add item," collect a new row with initial data and add it to the current collection.
    • Each time the user updates a value, use the OnChange property to Patch the value to the collection.
    • with "Add to tracker" button, patch the collection to the database when the user is done declaring the request.
