Question: How do you select a datapicker from another screen with a dropdown in an OnChange property.

In my original screen I was able to select my datapicker without any problem with a simple expression in the OnChange property:

Select(MeetingDateSelect)

Whenever a change happened, the dropdown able to properly pick this up and update my gallery. For this case, it would update the timespan of an appointment.

I moved my dropdown the "planner" screen to a new 'Settings' screen and used the same expressions. However I get the issue: "Select a control that is not on the screen".

How can I select the datapicker (with value: control) from another screen into my dropdown OnChange property?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Mvanek

You cannot select controls on other screens.

Your datePicker on the other screen should be deriving its value from the control on the first screen.

I hope this is helpful for you.
