Edit form control - Item

Hi guys,

When using Edit Form, lets say the Data source is Contacts, if in its "Item" property we put a lookup formula, ain't it will show blank if the lookup cannot find the condition ?

My lookup is simply like this :

LookUp(Contacts, Contact = varContact)

My issue is when it is cannot find (because the variable empty), when I run the app, the form will throw message "Getting your data" with no end. I tried to put some If condition and when it is not meet, no need to go to that lookup and use Blank() function also not working.

Any idea why ? It is a Custom Page though.

Thanks

@Axal ,

I did a test and I received "No item to display" .

What is your expected behavior when variable varContact is blank? Form to be prepared for a new record ?

If so, i think that you can achieve that when you initialize the form:

If( IsBlank(LookUp(Contacts, Contact = varContact)), NewForm(Form), EditForm(Form) )

Hi,

No, my expectation is just a blank edit form even when there is no record returned from Lookup. And my Edit form is always set as View Mode.

Thanks.
