Editform function not working

Posted on by 1392022_rowep

Hello!

I have an app with a form and a gallery, both connected to the same share point list. I set the form in view mode and made an edit icon on the gallery to edit the respective item and put the form in edit mode, but it doesn't work. When I press the icon, the form changes to edit for less than a second and changes back to view. I'm not sure what to do in this situation, is that a bug or maybe I'm doing something wrong? If anyone knows, please help me.

Thank you!

Hi @1392022_rowep

When you created the form, did you create it as an Edit or Display form? - Edit form gives you the option to adjust the modes, but Display doesnt.

Otherwise, I would just go through the logic in your code. The Onselect of the icon should be something like:

EditForm(YourFormName); Navigate(FormScreen, None, {locRecord:ThisItem})

Then the Item property of the form should be set to: locRecord

If that is still giving you issues, I would do a search for 'reset' using the search function at the bottom of the left hand rail, to see if there is some inadvertant resetting back to the default mode of the form, which may be New? You could also set the form default mode to Edit as part of trouble shooting and use the ViewForm / NewForm functions to opt for those modes instead.

Hope this helps

Thank you for the response! I found the problem, I didn't set the item of the gallery as the selected item, i set a variable of the current item to the this item in the On Select of the gallery and now it works. Thank you!
