Canvas App "New Item" button question

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 28

Hi, I'm building a canvas app on a SharePoint list that comprises of the following:

  • Homepage screen: a single screen containing a Gallery for the list view,
  • EditForm screen: an Edit Form to edit the item.

 

I've added a "New Item" button to the homepage screen as follows but this doesn't work:

 

NewForm(MyEditForm);Navigate(MyEditForm, ScreenTransition.Cover)

 

 

Do I need to add an additional screen for the "New Form"?

 

EDIT: The default mode of my EditForm is "Edit" which works when I want to view existing items in the list.

    You need to reference your 2nd screen in your navigate function, not the form.
