Link between the App OnStart and the App StartScreen

Inside our App's OnStart >> I have the following formula, to set the DisplayMode of a form:-

Set(
 varRecord,
 LookUp(
 'Online Credit Request',
 ID = Value(Param("onlinecreditrequestid"))
 )
);
If(Param("custommode") = "new",NewForm(Form2),
Param("custommode") = "edit" && !IsBlank(varRecord),EditForm(Form2),Param("custommode") = "view" && !IsBlank(varRecord),ViewForm(Form2),Set(varStartScreen,"NotFound")
)

and if all the If statement condition fails, i am setting a global variable named "varStartScreen" to NotFound to redirect the user to a not found screen.. but seems i can not define a Navigate inside the Onstart property, nor i can pass the global var from the Onstart to the StartScreen property.. so how i can do the redirect tot he NotFound screen in this case?

Thanks

    Hi @johnjohn123 :

    Maybe you could try this solution:

    Set the app's StartScreen property to:

    If(
     !(
     Param("custommode") = "new" || 
     (Param("custommode") = "edit" && !IsBlank(LookUp('Online Credit Request',ID = Value(Param("onlinecreditrequestid")))) || 
     (Param("custommode") = "view" && !IsBlank(LookUp('Online Credit Request',ID = Value(Param("onlinecreditrequestid")))))
     ),
     NotFoundScreen
    )

     Best Regards,

     Bof

    Hi @johnjohn123 :

    No, you don't need to modify the OnStart property, just keep it as it was.
