Hi,

My problem is as follows.

I have a screen in my app which contains a gallery and a form

The gallery is linked to the form (which I have applied a variable to popup on select of the icon), within the gallery I have an edit icon which is linked to the form (popup).

I also have a button outside of the gallery, which link to the form, which is to add a new item

What I want to achieve is as follows.

Id like the button within the gallery, to populate all the details into the form based on the selected gallery item,

I’d like the button outside of the gallery to open the same form but a blank new form.

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

For the button inside the gallery you would use the EditForm() function and for the one outside the gallery you wuld use the NewForm() function. That will change the form mode. Then have the Item property of the form adjust based on the form mode.

@Pstork1

In my onselect property of the icon with the gallery at the moment I currently have a variable to trigger the popup of the form,

Code as follows; UpdateContext({_ShowLLForm:true})

What would be the code I add to this to show the form and populate the item of the gallery item selected?

Thank you.

For the Gallery button it should be

EditForm(formname);UpdateContext({_ShowLLForm:true})

And for the one outside the gallery just

NewForm(formname)
