I've created a multiselect list that contains filtered records from a SharePoint list. The user then selects the specific records that should be edited. However, I've been trying to use ForAll to edit those specific records but I keep running into various problems (delegation being one of those problems). Is there a way to select multiple records (from a SharePoint list) in a multiselect list and then edit those records directly in the SharePoint list after using the OnSelect property of a nearby button? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @JustinR83 ,

What does the multi-select list mean? the ListBox control?

If you mean that you select multiple records from the list box and want to edit these selected records, please try the following steps.

1. set the ListBox.Items property to 'SP list'

2. create an editable gallery, set Items to ListBox1.SelectedItems, then the gallery only shows the selected records. For more information about editable gallery: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/editable-tables/

3. insert some editable TextInput boxes inside the gallery and bind them to the columns by set Default property to ThisItem.ColumnName

4. add an Edit button, set OnSelect: Set(Varmode,DisplayMode.Edit); add a Exit button, set OnSelect: Set(Varmode,DisplayMode.View)

5. set the Gallery.DisplayMode: Varmode; set Textinput box.DisplayMode:Parent.DisplayMode

6. set OnChange property of TextInput box as below to save the modification to sharepoint list.

Patch('SP list',LookUp('SP list',ID=ThisItem.ID),{ColumnName:TextInput1.Text})

Example:

Hope this helps.
