I am trying to add a rather simple function: a user can select a name on Page A, it will navigate to the relevant screen and display that individual's data by selecting them from the existing gallery on Page B.
I can pass the variable and selection between screens using the normal navigate function. In my OnVisible of the receiving page, i then check to see if that variable exists and then respond accordingly. The last step of this is to Select the gallery, which in turn does everything to pull the remaining data and display relevant elements on the screen.
Unfortunately, PowerApps seems to specifically prevent this sort of functionality. I have tried creating a hidden button within the container to run the Select, i have moved it directly into the gallery itself, etc. but every attempt yields this error.
How can I work around these limitations? I have the data passing between screens, I just need to trigger the selection within the gallery so that the rest of the page can behave properly.
