Can the patch function send data of two forms(view form and edit form) ?

Can the patch function send data of two forms(view form and edit form) ?

There is a dinner order list
I want to patch data after clicking the submit button,
but the result of SharePoint is empty.
.
There are two empty data of columns:
(1)count-column(data type:number):
DataCardValue23.Selected.Value
(2)rice-column(data-type:text):
DataCardValue24.Selected.Value

The function of submit button is:
Patch(
晚餐訂購,
Defaults(晚餐訂購),
{
訂購者姓名: User().FullName,
中文菜名: DataCardValue11.Text,
英文菜名: DataCardValue12.Text,
飯量: DataCardValue24.SelectedText.Value,
數量: DataCardValue23.Selected.Value,
單價: Value(DataCardValue13.Text)
}
)

Please help me to solve the problem,thanks.

Hi @Anonymous 

In this scenario, I would attempt to do this by referring to the Updates property of the edit form that contains DataCardValue23 and DataCardValue24. Assuming that the edit form that contains these two controls is called EditForm1, this is the syntax that you would use.

Patch(
      晚餐訂購,
      Defaults(晚餐訂購),
      {
        訂購者姓名: User().FullName,
        中文菜名: DataCardValue11.Text,
        英文菜名: DataCardValue12.Text,
        單價: Value(DataCardValue13.Text)
      },
      EditForm1.Updates
)

Hi timl,

thanks for your suggestion,

it works!

But I find a new problem,

in the app screen and preview mode,

the edit form  appears "No Data".

The datasource of the edit form is set as the same as the view form.

I don't know whether the reason is about datasource.

Hi @Anonymous 

The cause of this problem is most likely the Item property of the view form. You'll need to set this so that it references the record that you want to show in the form.
