Edit form and Patch() for a multipage form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hello,

 

I have a very long form.

 

Page 1 - Edit form

Page 2 - Patch()

Page 3 - Edit form

 

How to I let patch() know I am patching the item created on page 1? How do I refer to that specific item on page 3?

    You can create a global variable with the Set function

    Set(variableName, Patch(...));


    or create a local variable and pass it in the Navigate function

    UpdateContext({variableName: Patch(...)});
    Navigate(Page3, ScreenTransition.None, {variableName: variableName});

     The same you could do with the Record you referred in the Edit form on Page 1.

    @FlorianHelten so I attempted to do the local variable but am getting an error.

    How to I create a variable and set it to the ID? What syntax for ID? 

     

    I really appreciate it!
