Update Context problems

So on my edit button this is what is currently has on the page when someone click on an edit button.

UpdateContext({ selectedRecord: RecordsGallery1.Selected, editMode: true })

 

This allows users to edit the page and have the data stored. However when it comes to the Date as I have tried to change 

UpdateContext({ selectedRecord: 'Tour Start Date_DataCard1'.SelectedDate, editMode: true })

 

I get this error

I've tried UpdateContext({ selectedRecord: DatacardValue.SelectedDate, editMode: true }) and it still gives me errors 

 

what data do I need to link or add to the code to have no errors and still have an editable page.

    Try this

     

    UpdateContext({

        selectedRecord: RecordsGallery1.Selected, 

        selectedDate: YourDataCardName.YourDatePickerControl.SelectedDate, 

        editMode: true 

    })

     

    In this code, YourDataCardName should be replaced with the name of the data card that contains your date picker, and YourDatePickerControl should be replaced with the actual name of your date picker control.

     

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.
