Edit Form, Patching 1 field before submitting form. Everything is reset. Why?

Hi,

 

I have a popup that patches 1 field when a button is clicked. However I have text boxes (that have not been submitted into the form yet) where the text is erased.

 

Can I patch a field without deleting all my changes that have not yet been submitted?

    The fields that have text are still blank until you patch them.  So when you patch the 1 field from the pop-up, all the other fields refresh (fetching the blank data again)

    To get around this,

    1. add a variable to 'remember' that value that was selected in the Pop-Up. Something like

    Set(Var_MyPopUpValue, PopUpOption)

     

    2. Set your ONE field text value = Var_MyPopUpValue.

     

    Now when you change the PopUp value, the field will look at the Var which should now be = you PopUp

     

    Then when you submit the form, ALL the fields will be updated accordingly.
