Move text from one data card to another with OnSelect

Posted on by pandalove19

Our current project tracking is on a old version of PowerApps and I'm creating a tracker in the new version. In the old, there is a setup to have the current "progress note" text move to "progress notes history" when the "add new" icon is selected, and then erases the text in the current "progress note" so that a new note can be entered. The current progress note appends to the progress notes history; it does not delete the history data. It's also coded to add current date and the user's name to the front of the new progress note. I've attempted to copy the expressions from the old PowerApps to the new version but I keep getting errors, as I believe a lot of the expressions are outdated.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to add this function?

Hello. The previous builder used a lot of variables and "hidden" boxes and I'm having a hard time deciphering the purpose of each and where/when to create the variables. That's why I was asking if there is a better way.

Here is some of the information in the old app:

Add new icon – OnSelect: ClearCollect(PreviousNotes, {PreviousNote: PregressNotesValue, History: ProgressHistoryValue});Set(UpdateHistory,true);Set(ClearNotes,true);Set(ClearNotesValue,"");Set(ClearNotesValue,VarCurrentUser.FullName & " - " & Text(Now(),DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) &" "& har(10));Set(varDisableNewNoteBtn,true)

Add new icon – DisplayMode: If(varDisableNewNoteBtn,DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)
Current Progress Notes data card (“PregressNotesValue”) – Default: If(ClearNotes,ClearNotesValue,Parent.Default)
Current Progress Notes data card (“PregressNotesValue”) – DisplayMode: If(varDisableNewNoteBtn,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)
Progress Notes History data card (“ProgressHistoryValue”) – Default: If(UpdateHistory,HiddenHelperPreviousNoteLbl.Text & Char(10) & "__________________________________________________________________________________" & Char(10) & HiddenHelperCommentHistoryLbl.Text,Parent.Default)
Progress Notes History data card (“ProgressHistoryValue”) – DisplayMode: If(varEditCommentHistory,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)
HiddenHelperCommentHistoryLbl – Text: First(PreviousNotes).History.Text
HiddenHelperPreviousNoteLbl – Text: First(PreviousNotes).PreviousNote.Text
