Data transfer from a label to a text box

[Anonymous]

Hello community.

Certainly the professionals here were like me today. You fail at the smallest of tasks because you just can't do it yet.

Following problem:
I have this screen.

I have only copied the text in the text box below

There is a label (Label1) on this screen. This label shows the content of a variable. There is also a pen that serves as an edit mode. With the click on the pen something very simple should happen (and I can't get it again): I want to copy the text from label 1 into a text box so that you can then edit this text in the text box and then save it (this will probably be my next problem).

How does it work?

Best regards

a question: I was just playing around and this formula here did exactly what I wanted.

TextInput1 = Label1

Is it really that easy to end?

hi there

assuming the variable

Set(varThatVariable,"the text to be copied and edited");

now a variable to control the mode of the text input control

Set(varDisplayMode,DisplayMode.View) (this can be in the onvisble section of the form)

set the displaymode property of the textinput to  varDisplayMode

set the default value of the texinpu to varThatVariable

The above will have the textinout display as a label.

on the pen icon's onselect > set the displaymode to Set(varDisplayMode,DisplayMode.Edit) and you can edit the string as you like. when done you can update the comment

Hi@RoScha,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to copy the Label text content to the TextInput and click the edit button to edit it?

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario,

1. Do you want to control the DisplayMode of the TextInput based on the edit button?
2. How you save the variable, click another button to update?

I assume that you display the variable into the Label, and then copy the content to the TextInput on clicking the edit button, you could edit the copied content. Finally, you could click another button to update.

I have a test on my side, please take a try as below.

I assume that the variable you set in the Label is Var1.

Set the OnSelect property of the edit button as below:

Set(ButtonClick,true)

Set the Default property of the TextInput as below:

If(ButtonClick,Var1)

Set the Visible property of the TextInput as below:

If(ButtonClick,true,false)

After that, if you want to save the TextInput content to the corresponding variable, you could set the OnSelect property of the save button as below:

Set(Var1,TextInput1.Text)

Best Regards,

Qi

I am glad to have found this. I am trying to copy data from one textbox to another textbox using a button onclick property. I also want to format the data sent to the textbox by having it separated by commas. Any ideas?
