ResetForm not working as expected

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have a new item button on my BrowseScreen

OnSelect = NewForm(EditForm1);Navigate(EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None);Set(varFormMode, "New")

and a cancel button on my EditScreen1, OnSelect = ResetForm(EditForm1);Back()

When EditForm1 is invoked as NewForm() from the BrowseGallery, but then cancelled, the EditForm1 shows for a second or two the values from the currently selected item in the Gallery before it goes back to the BrowseGallery from where it was called. This is not desired, if not annoying - especially in Edge and Firefox, in Chrome the transition is much faster and it's hardly noticed.

What can I do to avoid that?

There is a couple of this to try.

1. Try calling Back() before the reset form command
2. Set Item on the form to be conditional: IF(varFormMode = "New", Defaults([DataSource]), Lookup([Datasource],[condition]))

@PeteMc has a good suggestion with #2. Please try the following:

On your browse screen, set:
BrowseScreen1.OnVisible = Set(varFormMode, "")
NewItemButton1.OnSelect = NewForm(EditForm1);Set(varFormMode, "New");Navigate(EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None);

Then, on your edit screen, set:
EditForm1.Item = If(varFormMode = "New", Defaults('YourTableNameHere'), BrowseGallery1.Selected)
CancelButton1.OnSelect = ResetForm(EditForm1);Back()

The goal here is to delay EditForm1.Item from being reset back to BrowseGallery1.Selected. When navigating to EditForm1 in "New" mode, varFormMode is set to "New"; this allows EditForm1 to use a default "empty" record as its Item. When clicking the cancel button, EditForm1 is reset but should still show the default "empty" record until varFormMode is set to "" (or anything except "New") when BrowseScreen1 becomes visible.

Thanks @PeteMc #1 didn't make any change, #2 did the trick with the tweaks provided by @_Corey_. Defaults() was definitely key, but as well clearing varFormMode.
