hi

I have 4 different fields as a group (AreaImprove; Expected Standard, Action and Results) and need to be able to add 3 more new groups of the same fields 2 to 4

I try using gallery to add new row but it appears to be the same name , Area2 label should AreaImprove 2, Expected Standard 2 and so on..

and the add new group / delete button should appear at each group, .Not sure if this is right way to do it, or should I created 4 gallery and patch back?

but how to collapse and expand the gallery when add new group?

and the patch button is also not pick the data to SharePoint list?

ForAll
(PGal.AllItems,
Patch('PIP Database',
{
AreaImprove:  "",
ExpectedStandard: "",
Action: "",
ResultsAchieve:""
}
))

Hello,
The approach is a good one.

To edit the field, you can create a collection for your gallery that has the appropriate columns. To do this, create another field for the ID. You can now write this gallery in the item property of your gallery.

If you now want to add a group, create a new entry in your gallery - you have to increase the ID by one.

You can now use the ID for the label, e.g. by first creating or editing a variable on the “+” button: UpdateContext{int_nextId: Value(Last([CollectionName]))}. Then create another collection entry with : Collect([CollectionName],{ID: int_nextId, ...}).

Now you can name your label correctly, e.g. as follows: “AreaImprove” & Text(ThisItem.ID)

If this answer helps you, I would be very happy if you could verify it as an answer.

ClearCollect(

colPIP1,

}

);

ClearCollect(

colPIP2,

{

AreaNeedingImprovement2: "",

ExpectedStandardPerf2: "",

ResultsAchieved2: "",

AgreedAction2: "",

ID: 1

}

)
