Blank gallery add button to display field from data source that user updates

[Anonymous]

I am connected to a SharePoint list data source. I have a blank gallery that I have started to develop. Currently I am stuck on having a icon when clicked (onselect) automatically display a field from the data source that the user must edit for that item. Essentially I have three buttons approve, reject, and edit. I need the edit button to display a specific field associated with the item in the gallery. That that user can edit/update and it is not simply a label like the other gallery fields.

Okay.  Go to your page, go to the "OnVisible" property and type in
UpdateContext({IDontLikeMilk:false})  <-- Note: you can replace IDontLikeMilk with whatever you want.

Go to your button and under OnSelect write UpdateContext({IDontLikeMilk: true})

Then on your textbox set the "Visible" property to IDontLikeMilk

When they're done with the edit, you will have to have a button that updates the data source.  After that code add in UpdateContext({IDontLikeMilk:false})

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to make a gallery not only yo view data, but also edit data by clicking a button?
If so, I suggest you change the controls' mode by clicking the button.

If you not click that button, other controls will be used to display data.

If you click that button, other controls will be used to edit data.

I've made a similar test for your reference:
1)set the gallery's Items to the data source that you want

in my test is: 

fruit11111
//table name

2)insert some textinputs or drop downs inside the gallery to edit

set textinput1's Default:

ThisItem.Title
//ThisItem.fieldname

set textinput1's DisplayMode:

If(var="e",DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.View)

set other controls to edit similarly

3)insert two buttons inside the gallery to change the controls mode

set edit button's OnSelect:

Set(var,"e")

set save button's OnSelect:

Patch(fruit11111,ThisItem,.....);
Set(var,"v")

Then at the beginning, the controls will be used to view data.

If you click the edit button, the controls mode will change to edit.

If you click the save button, you will save the data and controls mode will change to view.

Best regards,
