Number Input not displaying value

Posted on by SG90

Hi,

I am creating an app and one of the things I need it to do is to allow users to submit a number. I am using a modern Number Input (I would like to restrict the number they submit to be within a certain range), and when a number is selected in this control and then the submit button is pressed, the value is saved to the SharePoint list properly - great, but users may have to start this submission, save it for now and come back later to finish it later. When reloading the page I would like it to display the number saved.

In the "value" field I have entered a lookup formula to read the value from the SharePoint list. I believe this is working as when I view the properties bar on the right, it has the correct number in the "value" field, but the visible number on it starts as 0. Is there any way to force it to display the correct value? If I can make this work I would much rather use it that put a notification on a classic input.

Thanks

In the Screen.Visible, populate a variable with the value.

UpdateContext({numSomeNumber: Lookup(...) });

In the Default of the Card or Control, put the variable name: numSomeNumber.

Unless I'm missing something, I can't see a "Default" setting for the modern Inputs in either the top left dropdown menu or the properties menu on the right. Is there another way to enforce the default?

If the lookup formula returns the correct value, this could just be refresh issue. Perhaps you could try resetting your number input control in the OnVisible property of the screen?

Reset(NumberInput1)

Resetting the Number Input didn't work, thanks for the suggestion though. I've ended up just creating my own version of the input using a label set to displaymode.view, and buttons that adjust a variable (with some simple code to give an upper and lower limit). Hopefully something will be sorted for this situation as the Number Input moves towards general release.
