Comparing Logged In User to Submitter

Posted on by ChrisL58

Hello and good morning,
I have two text input boxes whos display mode is set to Disabled.

The default for the Submitter is:

ThisItem.'Created By'.DisplayName

The default for the Logged In User is:

User().FullName

I have some controls on my form that I would like to disable if both of those controls are equal to each other.
When I attempt to do is set the displaymode using If(txtSubmitter.Text) = (txtLoggedInUser.Text), displaymode.Disabled, displaymode.Edit But the formula complains.

Currently I have some logic in the DisplayMode

If(DataCardValue34.Selected.Value="Corrections Needed",

DisplayMode.View,DisplayMode.Edit) and this works.

Is it possible to compare two controls like I have?

Thanks for responding!
Yes, was driving me a little batty but this worked after I deleted the old controls, added a new custom datacard and inserted two new controls.
If(txtLoggedInUser.Text=txtSubmitter.Text,DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

Re: Comparing Logged In User to Submitter

Hey @ChrisL58 ,

Can you try this?

If(txtSubmitter.Text = User().FullName, displaymode.Disabled, displaymode.Edit)

This should be Working.
I think you closed the Parantheses "(" too soon.
