View a submitted record with the time

Hello,

I had thought this would work....

I have a simple app - when a user navigates back to a submitted record I am using the same screen as they would use if they were submitting a new record.

I have a date and time field. In the new record I am auto populating the date and time using the following:

DefaultDate: If(!IsBlank(vRecord.'Date&Time'), Parent.Default,
Today())

The above works

But I cannot get the time to pick up the old data when vRecord is selected:

If(!IsBlank(vRecord.'Date&Time'), Parent.Default,
Text(Hour(Now()),"[$-en-US]00"))

Hi @PowerAGuy ,

I am not sure why that is not working, but if you want to show the current hour when entering a new record, you might try this

If( YourFormName.Mode = FormMode.New, Text( Hour(Now()),"[$-en-US]00" ), Parent.Default, )

Hi @WarrenBelz
Afraid I get the same behavior as my code, the default is set to 00 both for a new item and for a previously submitted item:

How do I check if my form mode is new - the options when added a form was "edit" or "display"?

@PowerAGuy ,

I was assuming you were setting it

NewForm(YourFormName)

You posted this using the same screen as they would use if they were submitting a new record.

That syntax will certainly work on a new form - I use it regularly.

I haven't designed my previous forms like this but I've added the new form code on my + button NewForm(Form1);
and your code now works for a new form
I cannot get the submitted time to display on a previously submitted form though, that displays as 00

@PowerAGuy ,

Try

If( Form1.Mode = FormMode.New, Text( Hour(Now()),"[$-en-US]00" ), Text( Hour(Parent.Default),"[$-en-US]00" ) )

Nope still no change.... as mentioned this works on the date field without any issues, which in SP is a date and time field, but I think PowerApps does not recognize the time field as a separate field?

Also consider for your DefaultDate property:

Coalesce(Parent.Default, vRecord.'Date&Time')

And your other formula as:

Text(Coalesce(Parent.Default, Hour(Now())), "00")
