Edit a selected item of a gallery

When I select an item of a gallery on the left of the screen, I show on the right half of the screen some more parameters of the selected item. I want to make one of this parameter (called "Implemented") editable for the selected item.

I inserted:

text input: shows as default the gallery selected parameter (correctly) and the displayMode=If(Gallery.Selected.ID=EditRecord,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)
edit icon: with OnSelect=UpdateContext({EditRecord:Gallery.Selected.ID})
save icon: with OnSelect=UpdateContext({EditRecord: ""});Patch(Gallery.Selected,{ID:Gallery1.Selected.ID},{Implemented:TextInput.Text})

When I edit and then save the value, the value on the gallery and on the connected data is not updated.

FYI I used as guide this video PowerApps Editable Grid - YouTube

How can I update the value written in the text input updated in my data?

Thanks

Hi @f4810 ,

It seems like you are trying to patch the gallery instead of your data source. Try changing your Patch statement to include the name for the data source:

Patch(DataSourceName,{ID:Gallery1.Selected.ID},{Implemented:TextInput.Text})

Hi @BCBuizer ,

I receive as error in the save button for the OnSelect "Incompatible type. We can't evaluate your formula because the context variable types are incompatible with the types of values in other places in your app."

The parameter I'm trying to modify ("Implemented") is a text ("yes", "no", "n/a", as you may imagine)

Hi @f4810 ,

Do you mean to say the Implemented column is a Choice type? To confirm, please check in the List Settings:

Hi @BCBuizer ,

Yes, it was choice type. I converted to single line text and now works! Thanks for the help!
