Hi Guys,

When a user recalls one of their requests and the status is "To be submitted", I would like to allow them to edit any field. If the status is anything else I would like to disable all fields.

In the form DefaultMode property, I have put:

If(varStatus="To be submitted",FormMode.Edit,FormMode.View)

When I change this while the form is open the fields disable as expected, but as soon as I go back and navigate to the form again all of the fields are editable.

The DisplayMode property of all of my fields is Parent.DisplayMode

What am I doing wrong?

Your default mode code looks ok. Show all the code related to varStatus

When a user selects an item in a gallery, the following code assigns a value to the variable
Set(varStatus,LookUp('Requests', ID = gal_ViewRequests.Selected.ID).Status)
I have shown the value of varStatus in a label and it look fine

Hi @JimJim

Set the OnSelect property of gallery to
If( ThisItem.Status.Value = "To Be Submitted", EditForm(EditForm1), ViewForm(EditForm1) ); Navigate( EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None )
