Gallery wont load items when form is opened

I have a custom form on a list that should load gallery items from another list when the form is opened.

The items from the supporting list are gathered with a ClearCollect() statement in the OnEdit and OnView properties as I do not need to gather any items when the form is new.

The clear collect doesnt seem to run even when there are items available to be gathered.

I have put in a refresh button with the exact same code as the OnEdit and OnView, and this pulls in the items correctly.

If I open the form, close it, and reopen it the items are pulled in correctly.

I have tried placing the clearcollect statement in onvisible and onstart, and even to run when a timer starts but the same thing happens. Nothing is pulled in at the start and the form has to be closed and re-opened without refreshing the browser, or you have to click the refresh button.

This feels like such a simple thing but it is driving me crazy, so turning to you guys for some ideas. I can provide screenshots if needed!

Hi @CamCov ,

One of the issues with Integrated Forms is that they do not run (among other things) App OnStart or Screen OnVisible when another record is selected unless the user refreshes SharePoint in the browser between records. The only "variable" that changes is the record reference SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID as this facility was designed to be a simple edit/new/view form reflecting the current chosen record and actually "stays open" - the "close" command is RequestHide(), for performance reasons to display the next record.

You might consider a Canvas app for this one as you will face more challenges the more complex you make this.

Thanks Warren.

I was able to get it to work by using the SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID instead of SharePointIntegration.Selected.ID and clearcollecting inside the onview and onedit. Not sure what the difference is, but happy its working. Thanks for the help.
