Hello,

I have a link that lets me Edit a specific item on the list on the Power App Form

Here's a sample link:

How can I make it so that the Submit button will be disabled or not clickable if the user didn't change any information/fields on the form regarding that item?

I was thinking of using Clear Collect but not sure how and if it's the best option.

Regards,

You could control the display mode of your button using the unsaved property

This video from Shane Young explains the concept

Something like this should give you what you need:

If(form1.Unsaved, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)

replace "form1" with the name of your form

Hi Sbax,
Not sure what might be causing this but when I'm using Form.Unsaved it's only evaluating to True by default.

Just checked i think it has something to do with the 'Record' variable i set on the OnStart property and that the defaultmode of Form is 'New' and Item propert is 'Record'.

Do you know what should i add or change on the Unsaved property formula with these variables present?

I fixed the problem by checking the 'Unsaved' condition more carefully. Specifically, I focused on fields with default selected properties, especially combo boxes. In my form, there was a combo box that pulls the current user from SharePoint groups. This was causing the field to update with my name whenever I edited an item. To avoid this, it's important to review the Default Selected property of the combo box and Updates property on the relevant data card if it's causing the Unsaved formula to always returning true.
