Radio Buttons for updating Sharepoint List unwantedly reset on Submit

Hi,

We have been seeing this issue in quite a lot of posts, but none of the solutions offered seems to work for us. Hopefully we are overlooking something obvious...

Our case: from a Sharepoint List List1 containing Choice-colums Choice1 and Choice2 we created a PowerApp App1, via Integrate. We replaced the Dropdown-lists generated by Microsoft for updating Choice1 and Choice 2 by Radio Buttons Radio1 and Radio2, using the Choices and Update-Values provided by the Dropdown. Updating the columns via these Radio Buttons by pressing Submit works fine, however on pressing Submit the Radio Buttons are being reset – so the input is no longer visible for a user.

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – DataSource = [@List1]

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 – Update = Radio1.Selected

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 - Radio1 – Items = Choices([List1].Choice1)

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 - Radio1 – Default = “”

Submit resets Radio1

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 - Radio1 – Default = Thisitem.Answer

Submit resets Radio1, error message: a Text value is expected while a Record value is being retrieved.

EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 - Radio1 – Default = Parent.Default

Submit resets Radio1, error message: a Text value is expected while a Record value is being retrieved.

Is there a way to have the app fetch the updated column values as default values after a reset?

Hi @apmx
Try This
Set default values for Radio Buttons on form submission using the Set function. Example:
Set(Radio1.Default, ThisItem.Choice1)
Test without default values and check syntax for errors.

Hi M_AliSZ365,
Thanks for your reply! For testing we added a temporary button with the OnSelect function set to
Set(Radio1.Default, ThisItem.Choice1)
We get the following error: Unexpected characters. The formula contains 'Control' where 'Ident' is expected. Hovering over the function on the dot between Radio1.Default we get invalid use of '.' Do these ring any bells?

This turned out to be not so hard after all. This does the job:

App1 - EditScreen1 - EditForm1 – Choice1_DataCard1 - Radio1 – Default = ThisItem.Choice1.Value

When the Choice option Choice1 in the Sharepoint List List1 is set to have no default value the radio buttons initially show up unchecked, as wanted.
