The form control in Power Apps is designed to do this. Use the functions NewForm() and EditForm() to change the mode of the form, and SubmitForm() to save the data back to the SP list.

hi @BCLS776

I have a question
I set the varMode is it ok?
when click on the edit Detail Screen it goes to FORM edit which is fine but I notices it keep going to tab3, how to default to Tab1

for BrowseGallery I set the + to varMode NEW - when click it did not open new FORM?

Edit Screen
1) + iicon for new form - I should input as NewFORM(Form1)???
2) when the form is edit, the submit button when edit it will send back the changes, how about if it's new FORM? Do I need to add one more submit button??
3) How to now show the submit icon for new forms till user is at the last tab?

I don't recommend using a variable to try to toggle the form mode in that way. Instead, use the form functions that Power Apps has provided.

In your app, it appears you should put NewForm() in the OnSelect property of the + icon.

For the pencil (editing) icon, you likely want an EditForm() call

For the checkmark (saving) icon, you likely want a SubmitForm() call, no matter if the form was in New or Edit mode prior to that.

You can put conditions in the DisplayMode property of the checkmark icon control so that it is Disabled until certain conditions are met, and then it changes to Edit. Example:
// Place this in the DisplayMode property of an icon control If( IsBlank(tbAddress.Text), // or substitute other condition(s) that must be satisfied Disabled, Edit )
