SharePoint-Integration: Filling a variable in OnEdit-Mode

Posted on 26 Jan 2019 10:18:41 by 18

Hello,

I think the core of my "exercise" is quite simple, but somehow it is not working.

If the mode of my SharePoint integration form is "OnEdit" I want to set a variable:

Set(varTest, "Test");

I inserted a text field on my form. The default value is varTest:

2019-01-26 11_14_48-SupportTickets on Service Management (Template) forms - Saved (Unpublished) - Po.png

After publishing the form the value fieldvalue in edit mode is blank.

Why does the text field do not show any value?

Thanks for your response.

    Now I get the point.

    I set the variable for the OnEdit mode, but I tested the behaviour in OnView mode.

    That can never work. Sorry for the circumstances.

    Hi Kris,

    Thanks for your help.

    I think your tipp with the global and lokal variable is correct. 🙂

    While playing around I found out, that I can set a default variable value on the form screen --> OnVisible.

    However, the same procedure is not working if I use the SharePointIntegration --> OnEdit.

    Is there a explanation for that behaviour? Do I have to change the configuration for my app etc.?

    Hi @sakleboe,

    Where do you put your Set formula? Within the OnEdit property of the SharePointIntegration control within the app?

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

    On your side, please take a try with the following workaround:

    Add the following formula within the OnEdit property of the SharePointIntegration control:

    Set(varTest, Blank());
    Set(varTest, "Test")

    Set the Default property of the Text Input box to following:

    varTest

    In addition, I think it is not necessary to initialize a global variable to store the value you want to put within your Text Input box. As an alternative solution, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

    Set the Default property of the Text Input box to following:

    If(SharePointForm1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, "Test")

    If the issue still exists, please consider take a try to remove the custom form from your SP list, then re-create a new one for it, take a try with above solution I provided, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,
