Hi,
I have a sharepoint list with multi select choice field. I have customised the sharepoint form where the dropdown list is changed to checkboxes. global variables are used to capture the checkbox selections. I have followed some of the videos available on youtube to do this. (Use a gallery and add checkboxes within the gallery).
It works fine as expected. However, I have come across an issue with caching the checkbox selections.
I have tried to reset the variables as mentioned in the videos. (OnNew/OnEdit/OnCancel/OnSuccess) Unfortunately, none of them works. If I try to create a second item soon after creating an item, the previous selections are retained.
has anyone come across such an issues? I would really appreciate if you can help me solve this,
Many Thanks,
Hi,

Hi WarrenBlez,
Really appreciate your reply. I can understand why my answer was a bit confusing to you.
I started the form customization as per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj8uP2zaMtA.
When I faced with the problem I mentioned, I decided to implement the same functionality in a canvas app. That's when I used the multiple screen implementation. I would like to get this working either as a canvas app or as a sharepoint list form customization.
Many Thanks,
Hi @anoomathew ,
Seems a bit of a different question to your post which was about the integrated functions. I will however add that Integrated Forms were never designed to be multi-screen and as I mentioned some in-built functions do not always work as you might expect once you get beyond the basic View/New/Edit functions on the chosen record.
I am guessing a bit here, but trying to add a new record in a manner other than selecting "New" from SharePoint may be confusing the system a bit. To be honest, if I needed to write the functionality you have, I would have been on a Canvas app long ago.
Hi WarrenBelz,
Thank you very much for your response.
I am capturing all the forms in a screen and use a button to submit the form. Once the form is submitted, I try to navigate to another screen which has another button to add a new item. I tried to reset the form and refresh the data source after OnSuccess() of the first form and also OnSelect() of the New Button.
ResetForm(Form)
Refresh(list data source).
In spite of all these, the selections are being retained. Am I missing something else here?
Many Thanks,
Anu
Hi @anoomathew ,
You have experienced one of the "helpful" functions of SharePoint Integrated Forms. When an action is finished, it executes a RequestHide(), which is exactly that - the form is actually still open and when another record is selected, the only thing that is updated is the SharePointIntegration.Selected record reference (so it simply displays the next chosen record). It does not run any of the integrated function actions you mention, unless the user refreshes SharePoint every time they change records.
Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.
