I have a Progress field that was created with the purpose that the user should not change it and the approver can edit the field and change the progress status. For that reason I have formatted the field such that when in new mode the only option that appears is "Request Submitted". When in edit form, all the other options appear and when submitted the data is recorded. My only issue is that when anyone goes back to that form to view it, the field appears empty even though there is a value behind it, please help me fix this issue.
As you can see, the data is being recorded in the gallery as well as in Powerapps but when we press on the gallery item and navigate to the form, that field is just empty. Lastly the Datacard Update property is:DataCardValue25.Selected with Datacardvalue25 being the Progress Datacardvalue.
Just replace "Parent.Default" in view mode to the following code.
Coalesce(
Parent.Default,
LookUp(listName, ID = ThisItem.ID).columnName
)
just try to replace the value to the formula above.
Hello Talha, thank you so much for your response. I am not quite sure I understand what you mean, I have tried replacing my whole defaultselecteditems property
Or even to this:
but as you can see I am getting errors in both and also do not quite understand the logic behind it as I have never used such a function
Hi @Anonymous.
Try updating the value when form is in View mode from the following.
to the following formula
Coalesce(
Parent.Default;
LookUp(listName, ID = ThisItem.ID).columnName
)
