TextArea Editable on Server Side

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by cattavares1 2

Hello. I'm very very new to Power Apps/Power Pages.
I have a table that I want to create that works a bit like Excel. I want each cell "td" to be able to be edited and saved on Server Side. I tried contenteditable=true but as I googled people said the best approach was to use "textarea" instead. My problem now is, how do I make my code interact with the database? I have a validate button on each cell, and I want that button to be the validation and save option for my database. Is it possible to do that?

    Hi @cattavares1 ,

     

    if I understand you correct you have a html table with your table data in <td> correct?

    Is that table filled with data from dataverse or do you want to make it editable and submit the entire table to dataverse with your validation button.

     

    If I am not mistaken it's page --> dataverse. In that case when you are going to implement a cloud flow you should be fine. Just make sure that you allow inputs and respond accordingly, so that you can show the user a success or error screen. A first step is found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/cloud-flow-integration

    Hope that helps.

    The table is filled with data from dataverse, and I want to make it editable and submit specific changes to dataverse back.

    Each cell is editable through "textarea", but I'm not sure when creating the cloud flow what would be the specific input for that, do I have to create an input for each row?
