Hi,

where am I going wrong here? GEtting expected Enum error here on DefaultMode of my editform1 -

If(conclu=true, Set(varFormMode, FormMode.View), varFormMode)

conclu is a popup, when its visible i want to make the rest of the form..not clickable i guess.

when its closed i want it to be varFormMode.

Thanks.

Hi @AdilAhmed4441 ,

From a syntax perspective this all looks correct. Can you please share a screenshot of the situation where you get this error to see if that yields any further clues?

Hi @wonka1234 ,

The DefaultMode is a declarative property and the Set function is a behavioural function. Using the two combined is causing the issue.

Try setting the formula to:

If(conclu, FormMode.View, varFormMode)

You may notice I removed a part in the condition since it is redundant: conclu will already return a boolean. It's like saying: "If it's true, then it's true", instead of: "It's true".
