Set variable updating very slow

Posted on by sskey89

I am setting 6 variables for 6 checkboxes:

Set(resultvariable1, If(One.Value=true,"1",""));
Set(resultvariable2, If(Two.Value=true,"2",""));
Set(resultvariable3, If(Three.Value=true,"3",""));
Set(resultvariable4, If(Four.Value=true,"4",""));
Set(resultvariable5, If(Five.Value=true,"5",""));
Set(resultvariable6, If(Six.Value=true,"6",""))

I then have these going to a text field that will be sent out in an email. The issue is the text field takes a long time to update, so when the email is sent the body of the email remains blank as if the value was false. Any way to speed this up so if a user hits submit the values won't remain blank? I also have a dropdown and text input but those update instantly.

I am new to Power apps, so if there is a better way to do this I am all ears!

Body of email:

Text(Dropdown_Room.Selected.Name) &Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable1) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable2) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable3) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable4) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable5) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(resultvariable6) & Char(13)&Char(13)&
Text(TextInput2)

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi @sskey89 ,

Why not do it all directly in the email ?

Dropdown_Room.Selected.Name & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(One.Value, "1") & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(Two.Value, "2") & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(Three.Value, "3") & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(Four.Value, "4") & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(Five.Value, "5") & Char(13) & Char(13) & If(Six.Value, "6") & Char(13) & Char(13) & TextInput2.Text

I was testing to make sure that the values were updating accurately. Do you think the slow issue is caused by the text box updating separately?

Just tested that and the values still didn't update fast enough. The checkbox's are still showing blank in the email. Only the dropdown and textbox updated and were on the email.

@sskey89 ,

I assume you have dropped the Variables and used the code I supplied. Also can you please supply the actual code as Text - or try this

With( { w1: If(One.Value, "1",""), w2: If(Two.Value, "2",""), w3: If(Three.Value, "3",""), w4: If(Four.Value, "4",""), w5: If(Five.Value, "5",""), w6: If(Six.Value, "6","") }, Dropdown_Room.Selected.Name & Char(13) & Char(13) & w1 & Char(13) & Char(13) & w2 & Char(13) & Char(13) & w3 Char(13) & Char(13) & w4 & Char(13) & Char(13) & w5 & Char(13) & Char(13) & w6 & Char(13) & Char(13) & TextInput2.Text )

The whole point is to ensure the values are set before the email is run.

Would you know how to leave out results that are "false"? I am getting blank entries because of the formatting of the message and using: & Char(13) & Char(13).
