Hello everyone,
I have a screen where I show the same form twice: one in new mode, the other in view mode. I show them both because in this screen I need to have a summary of the data entered in the procedure (view mode) and to be able to modify/enter only two data (new mode).
If I click on the play button I only see the module in new mode, why? How can I make them both work?
In the input form I have hidden the fields that are visible in the other and at the same time those that can be modified before saving are visible.

Hi @Utente_365_1fl ,

A view/edit mode form must have its Item property populated with a specific record, such as Gallery.Selected. How do you define/know which item from your data source (DataSource of the Forms) will display/edit in the View mode form?

Best regards,

ok, I understand what you mean. But in my procedure it's not so easy because the new record my form has to create is the union of two records from two tables. For example: I need to register a record that contains the data of the person to whom I am delivering an object and also the data of the object I am delivering. So I made a screen with a gallery that has the list of people, in the next one I select the object that I want to deliver from a gallery, and then I make a summary screen with a form that takes the person's data from the first gallery and the object data from the second gallery. You understand that I have two different data sources and two items.
How can I have one summary form in view mode and another in edit mode?

Hi @Utente_365_1fl ,

Forms could not be used for mixed data source, even collections are not acceptable. For your scenario, you'd better use two containers and include different controls to connect to the summary values, one container is in View mode and the other in Edit mode. At last use Patch function to update/insert to destination tables.

Best regards,
