Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

On my first screen, I have a edit button and on the "OnSelect", I have it first setting a global variable (gblMode) to "Update" and then navigating to the 2nd screen.

On the 2nd screen, I have Label1 and on the "OnVisible", I have the following:

If (gblMode = "Update", Label1.Text = "Update", "Add")

However, the text on the Label is not changing, is my syntax correct ?

Thanks

Power Apps is a declarative system so you can't change the value of properties at runtime. What you can do is set the property you want to change to a variable or a formula. So for your situation add the following to the Text property of the label on the 2nd screen.

If (gblMode = "Update", "Update", "Add")

That will automatically change the label text if the gblMode variable is changed. Another way to do it is just set the Text to gblMode and change the value of the variable to either Update or Add as needed.
