Different forms for one SharePoint list | German operator issue?

Posted on by Kuchen

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to set up a way to work with one SharePoint list and 3 different forms.
Following this guide I created those forms and implemented the settings with small adjusments regarding the notation because I am using a German Power Apps version and would get Errors otherwise. (Had to change the "," with ";" and ";" with "||" as mentioned here in a comment.
However, I'm now still struggling to find out why SharePoint is still only showing the "NewTicketForm". The only thing that changed is that SP overwrites new tickets now, instead of adding a new one.

Do you guys maybe have an idea what causes the malfunction?

I am based in South Africa and as such with the SA locale we also have to use ";" instead of ",", However instead of ";" we use ";;". Definitely not "||" because that is used for an "or" operator. eg :

Visible Property: ( xyz_v = 1 ) || (xyz_v = 3 )

With the above expression on say a form control the form would be visible if the variable xyz_v was either 1 "or" 3.

I am amazed in of your expressions doing anything for that matter. Equally you don't need 3 forms for New, View, Edit. You could use a variable like you have and in the Form's Mode property have an expression such as the following:
If( SharePointFormMode = "CreateForm";
FormMode.New;
If( SharePointFormMode = "EditForm";
FormMode.New;
FormMode.View
)
)

My bad, you also don't have to use a variable as I suggested. Scratch that.

You can and should do as you have done albeit with only one form, i.e.:
ViewForm( TicketForm );;
Navigate ( TicketFormScreen )

Or
EditForm( TicketForm );;
Navigate ( TicketFormScreen )

Or
ViewForm( TicketForm );;
Navigate ( TicketFormScreen )

Thank you for yor reply @Office365Master !
I changed the "||" with ";;" but somehow it didn't change anything.
The code is from this guide. I do need three different forms, because they are all supposed to show different fields (but with the information from the same list). So in theory the guide should solve my problem perfectly but I can't get it to work sadly.
