Hello all,

I have a page where a user can either fill in a few text boxes or upload a document. Either will add to a collection. Since some of the text boxes may be empty, I'm dealing with them as shown below. Is there an easier way to do this? The below works, but I wanted to validate in case there was a one-liner or alternate method to achieve the same thing.

Collect(colUserList, [{Name: txtUserName1.Text,Email: txtEmail1.Text},{Name: txtUserName2.Text,Email: txtEmail2.Text}, {Name: txtUserName3.Text,Email: txtEmail3.Text}]);
RemoveIf(colUserList, Or(IsBlank(Name), IsBlank(Email)));

Hi,

Do you just have like 6 text inputs on the screen??

Here is another possibility.

If you had a Gallery, in the gallery you added your 3 Text Inputs.

Then you could make it show 3 rows (with no way to add or remove)

Then you could do

Now this for sure more lines, but accurately puts only the data you want in it, but how you have it, I have seen many people do. Its not wrong and you could of course, do the If clause in the Collect and make it one big line, it just gets ugly :-)

ForAll(Gallery.AllItems,
    If(!IsBlank(ThisRecord.NameField.Text) And !IsBlank(ThisRecord.NextField.Text And !IsBlank(ThisRecord.NextField.Text),
    Collect(MyCollection,
      { 
         Name: ThisRecord.NameField.Text,
         Other: Thisrecord.OtherField.Text,
         OtherOther: ThisRecord.OtherOtherField.Text
      { 
    )
);

Technically you don't need to quality the ThisRecord in the Collect.
