Posted on by rehankazi

I have a screen that has Data Table columns with names(hyperlinked), once I select the name it should navigate to a different screen where a searhbox is placed. and it should copy the selected name in the searchbox. i dont know who to input the function

The function that I have entered is

OnSelect - Navigate(ScreenStaffDetials,ScreenTransition.None);Copy(BoxSearch.Text) .

I am getting an error on the red text.

Please assist.

Hi @rehankazi ,

Copy is not a valid Power Apps command, You need to set a Variable

Set( YourVariableName, BoxSearch.Text )

then refer to this when you need the value.

@WarrenBelz , thanks for the reply, after I enter my variable ( as i understand the column name) it still gives me an error under the variable.

Navigate(ScreenStaffDetials,ScreenTransition.None);Set('B2 TECH_Column1',BoxSearch.Text)

@rehankazi ,

You cannot write to a column like that, You can set a Variable (not the column name - example below)

Set(gblTech,BoxSearch.Text)

then the Default of the control containing that column on the next screen can be gblTech (or whatever you want to call the Variable). What exactly are you trying to do here?
