Editing existing entry in gallery - error

Hi all, I am having issues with editing an existing entry in a gallery in my app.

I have set up the edit button which navigates to an edit screen where you can make the changes to the entry you wish and then tick to confirm.

But when I click to confirm it does not change the entry, it creates a new one and does not use even save this entry with the information I just entered and selected.

An example for how it is currently working

The entries in the viewing screen

The item I have selected to edit

The item in the edit screen where I have made the change (week number changed to 37)

I click the tick to confirm my changes - I have to click the button twice otherwise nothing happens

This is the entry in the viewing screen now

As you can see, it has not updated my edits it has kept the original and made a new entry

The A is the original entry and the B the new entry.

It did not update the week in the details and has also not carried through other info, such as the day which you can see.

What I would like to be happening is there to be just the one entry and either replace the existing entry or create the new entry and delete the old one automatically.

Here is what I currently have for each page in items for the formulas etc.

Viewing screen gallery "items"

Viewing entry screen "items"

Viewing entry screen "data source"

Edit button "OnSelect"

Editing entry screen "items"

Editing entry screen "data source"

Editing entry screen tick button "OnSelect"

Please let me know if any further information/context is required.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @jolebe09 ,

In the last item, Concatenate joins two string values together, not two functions - try

SubmitForm(EditForm1); NewForm(EditForm1)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @WarrenBelz ,
Thanks for the response.
I've made this change and I'm afraid the issue persists.
I went to edit the wk 52 and changed it to wk 51, but as you can see this entry on the right is the new one it created and the original is still there.

@jolebe09 ,

Try on the Item of your Edit Form

LookUp( HPU_AOR, ID = BrowseGallery1.Selected.ID )

Also before you assume it has not saved, have a look in your SharePoint list directly - this may be a refreshing issue.

Hi @WarrenBelz
Apologies I am getting this issue

I Have checked my Excel sheet, which is where the data is stored (not sure if this makes a difference) and the issue is the same in there

@jolebe09 ,

It is always good to mention your data source in a post. Excel is a terrible data source and this is not the last thing you will encounter that should work and simply does not. If you have access to SharePoint lists, I suggest you consider transitioning to them and you will find most of these issues will go away.
