    Hi @Powerquery ,

    It appears you have a gallery there and I assume the buttons are in this gallery. You have not shared the code you are getting an error, so please do this (in text). As far as the View Mode, you will need to have a field (Status would be a good name) in your list that you update when the button is actioned and then base the mode of the form on the value of this field.

    Hi @Powerquery ,

    Your formula 

    If(
 ThisItem.Status.Value="Approved",
 DisplayMode.Disabled,
 DisplayMode.Edit
)

    would be valid on the DisplayMode of the Button providing

    • You had a Choice field called Status in your list AND
    • The button was in the gallery containing this record.

     What is not correct here?

    Hi @WarrenBelz , Thanks for response. my apologies , my question is first in the gallery form first the approver will approve the concerned form using Approve button .once that will happen after that no one should change the status in sharepoint and that approve button should disabled ,is that possible ? First I am using the Patch function to change the form status and then want to change the button to disable.

    @Powerquery ,

    As I posted the formula on the DisplayMode of the button

    If(
 ThisItem.Status.Value="Approved",
 DisplayMode.Disabled,
 DisplayMode.Edit
)

    will disable the button the moment the Status field in the record is updated to Approved. You can base the behaviour of any other control in the gallery or action initiated by it on the value of Status. Is that what you are asking?

    But for me  it worked without using .value  and button disabled .

    If (
    ThisItem.Status = "Approved",
    DisplayMode.Disabled,
    DisplayMode.Edit
    )

    Thanks for the input. Could you tell me is there any way to change the button text like on disable the text button should change to  Approve to Approved ? or from blue color button to green .

    @Powerquery ,

    I copied the .Value from your code assuming it was a Choice field. If Status is a Text field, then you do not need .Value. For the button Text, put on the Text property

    If(
 ThisItem.Status="Approved",
 "YourFirstTextHere",
 "YourSecondTextHere"
)

    and the Color

    If(
 ThisItem.Status="Approved",
 Red,
 Blue
)

    @WarrenBelz , Thanks for the response , like if you remember i am using a form to approve and reject button ,is there a way where I can use drop down list of approve or reject and once the action taken the drop down list will be disabled for the approver and color can be changed to green on approve and other call on reject . instead of different approve and reject button .Attached the snippet of my form .

    HI @Powerquery ,

    You can use the same logic for the color of the button (ThisItem.Status = "Approved")
