How to add editable text inputs to gallery items?

I'm new to power apps.

I'm trying to create a gallery connected to a data table, where each gallery item has 2 children:

a date
a variable height, word-wrap, editable text field

Edits to the text box would get written back to the data source.

I found this:

I've added a text box to the gallery item, but not sure how to:

write the changes back to the data source
have a variable size text box to automatically accommodate multi-line

Thanks

Hi @ctung74,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to write the changed data within the Text input to data source?

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario?

If you only want to edit the existing data, please try as below:

Set the Default property of the Text input as below.

ThisItem.ColumnName

Set the OnChange property of the Text input as below:

Patch(DataTable,ThisItem,{ColumnName:TextInput1.Text})

If you want the Text input to be automatically accommodate multi-line, you could set the Mode property as below:

1). Insert a Label covering on the Text input control

2). Set the following property of the Label as below:

AutoHeight:true Text:TextInput1.Text

3). Set the Height property of the Text input as below:

Max(Label5.Height, 70)

4). Set the Visible property of the Label as below:

false

Hope it could help.

Regards,

Qi
