Hi, I followed the instructions in the youtube video by Reza Dorrani on How to append changes to existing text (append comments) in Power Apps. I followed it the best I could but because of the difference in versions mine is not working as it should. Reza suggested asking this forum. Is anyone aware of newer instructions for this process? Please see attached copies of the form and copies with the error messages for height and Visible

Thank you,

Gloria

Hi GF-12111424-0

You simply need Mode, not DisplayMode - for the first one (you do not need If/true/false )
MethodsForm.Mode <> FormMode.View

and the second
If( MethodsForm.Mode = FormMode.View, 0, 100 )

Hi, I do not know how to answer your question as far as what I am wanting to compare. I copied this code from someone else but the end result that we are wanting is to be able to add appended comments that include the name of the individual and the date and time the comment was made.
We want to have these comments for historical record keeping. Does this help? Also, please see attached a screenshot from the Comment field we were using in Microsoft Planner. This is an example of what we want to do in Power Apps.

Thank you,

Gloria

Hi Gloria, the issue you are experiencing is due to a type comparison mismatch.

DisplayMode.View results in a text "view" and FormMode.View results in a numeric value of 2.

Notice Form2.DisplayMode.View = view, data type text

Notice FormMode.View = 2, data type number

So you need to determine the correct logical comparison for what you're trying to attempt.

If you're able to describe more of what you're wanting to compare and how to handle that, we can probably clear this up for you pretty quickly.
