Gallery OnSelect stopped working

Hi Everyone,

I have a Flexible Height Gallery that has a function to update a variable that used in further operations.

The issue is that OnSelect property stopped working unexpectedly

I tried retrieving the value like Gallery.Selected.Name and it detects that but OnSelect doesn't work.

To test it, I used simple Notify() but the function cannot trigger that as well.

Any idea what went wrong?

Hi @Ethan_R,

Could it be that the 'Selectable' property of the gallery is set to 'false'?

Hi @Akser ,

That is true.

But Gallery doesn't responds to the select action on the record when User interacts. 😓

@Ethan_R, I'm just guessing so bear with me, could it be that the 'DisplaMode' is set to something other than 'Edit'?

Hi @Akser ,

I feel the issue is something else, since all properties are correct are worked before.

Suddenly this specfic gallery stopped working and I have many operations tied to this.

I don't want to create another gallery and transfer all components to other one.

I've checked with other Galleries in the App and there's no issue but the Main gallery is non-functional now....

Unexpected behavior....

I solved the problem by adding a formula to all the interactable fields as Select(GalleryName) rather than Select(Parent), as this did not work.

Select(Parent) used to work, but it no longer does in my case. Maybe it's because I grouped the Gallery controls? But I'm not sure.

It was just because there was a container inside the Gallery.

Container cannot trigger selection of Gallery actions. So need to select gallery explicitly.

This is currently an expected behavior of Containers inside Gallery

Thank you for this. My problem was that there was code in the OnSelect for each of the gallery's items, and I had forgotten I had put it there! Also, your answer solved my problem that sometimes happens when I place all gallery components into a container, for cleaner layout. When I do that, Select(parent) doesn't work, but it never occurred to me to use Select(GalleryName)!!

In my case, the "onSelect" of the gallery wasn't functioning at all. After a little bit of playing around, I noticed that the new controls and containers act as an obstacle. If I click anywhere else but, on them, it functions perfectly. To solve the problem, I simply placed a blank "label" control on top of my container.
