Submitform does not navigate to the FormViewer selected item

Hi, 

 

I am building a PowerApp for reporting of safety incidents - the individual safety incidents are required to have different stakeholders subtmit information. 

 

I have experienced a few issues in my project 

 

1. I have a Templategallery with all the various cases listed. Each case has a button which holds the OnSelect value 

 

Navigate(FormViewer2)

 

 In the FormViewer i have an Edit button with the following value for Onselect

 

Navigate(Editform1;none)

 

In the EditForm i have a Save button with the following values 

 

SubmitForm(EditForm1)

 

 

My OnSucces for my EditForm is 

 

Navigate(TemplateGallerylist1)

 

 

The issue is that when users presses the savebutton they are navigated to another list item, (the latest, as far as i can see) instead of the one they pressed edit for in the Formviewer - how do i achieve that they are navigated back to the FormViewer and to the list item that they pressed the Edit button for? - alternately navigating them directly back to the Templategallery1 is also a viable option for me. 

 

2. Sometimes when users press the Edit button from the Formviewer, the Editform is completely empty - they have to go back and reload the App in order for the List item information to show up again

 

3. I have a Date Column which should be filled by users with a due date - but because of the 1st issue, they sometimes fail to realize that they are on another list item/safety incident then what they intend to be - this results in users updating a list item with a wrong date. - They also cant seem to "delete the date" and save the form, only change the date.

 

The issues are in a prioritized list 

 

the 1st is the most important for me to solve asap

 

Best regards

Kristian

    Hi @Krelz9210 ,

    You have not provided enough information to answer this accurately, but I have noticed a couple of things

    If this is the code on the OnSelect of the edit button

    Navigate(Editform1;none)

    you need

    EditForm(Editform1);
    Navigate(YourEditScrteenName;none)

    Your OnSuccess sends you back to a gallery screen - do you mean something else is selected here?

    Navigate(TemplateGallerylist1)

    For the date clearing, you will need an icon/button (I use an X icon) with 

    Reset(YourDatePickerName)

    and ensure there is nothing in the Default of the control. Also ensure that Formula Level Error Management is turned on in your settings.
