Save items inside gallery when row added

I feel like there is an obvious way to do what I'm doing - so figured it was best to ask the experts.

I've broken this problem down to where buttons show the variable names.

the length of the gallery is specified by varTestSequence - when +1 or -1 is pressed (you guessed it), a row gets added or deleted. My problem arises when I have data already inside the gallery.

here's text in the gallery, then I press -1

is there a way to have it so that the textboxes/rows that have data inside remain? I think it'd get frustrating for my users when they had a last minute addition and have to type everything out again 😅

Hi @JeckGill ,

Could you please tell what data source is the Gallery, in its Items property?

Best regards,

Hi @JeckGill ,

So, every time you change the variable, the Gallery generates all items from blank. To achieve your need, please follow below steps:

1. On set variable button:

UpdateContext({_varTestSequence:5});ClearCollect(colG,Sequence(_varTestSequence))

2. On +1 button:

Collect(colG,{Value:Last(colG).Value+1})

3. On -1 button:

RemoveIf(colG,Value =LookUp(Gallery.AllItems,IsBlank(TextInput1.Text)).Value)

4. Items of Gallery:

colG

Best regards,

Everything except the -1 button is working - there's no error messages or red underlines too which is making this frustrating to figure it out
