Default Value issue

[arseny_sandaar]

Dear All, 

I couldn't understand why I am having the issues with the default values to insert for my entries.

I have 3 pages:

1. Gallery page - with the list of entries, by clicking an entry you can go to the next page
2. The entry detail page - where we see different DataCards (some of them are already filled, some are emty)
3. Entry's edit page - where you can edit DataCards (mine are all allowed-value drop-down cards)

The problem is following:

1. I edit one entry and successfully save it (Page 3), then I return to the Gallery page (Page 1) through Page 2 (I have return button)
2. Then I go to another entry from Page 1 through Page 2 to Page 3 to edit the selected entry. Here in emtpy DataCards I see the same values from the previous entry suggested as default values. But I don't want them to be suggested, because sometimes I don't have data - so I need to leave them empty. My default should be blank, but instead it takes data as default from previous entry. Instead saving as it was suggested I need to refill all the DataCards from drop-down menu for each DataCard which takes time OR I need to cancel editing, go back and then return again to edit page - then it will be empty because the last appearance of Page 3 had no fields filled. Interesting fact that some DataCards somehow do not suggest default value from previous entry, though they are technically the same.

Hi @arseny_sandaar 

• Please make sure the default property is to

Parent.Default

• Make sure your edit form Item property is

Gallery1.Selected

• From Page 2 to Page 3, the command should be 

EditForm(EditFormName);Navigate(EditScreenName, ScreenTransition.None)

Hello,

thank you for the comment though it didn't help to solve the issue. 

Everything was already as you described in the comment. 

The problem is following:

1. I edit one entry and successfully save it (Page 3), then I return to the Gallery page (Page 1) through Page 2 (I have return button)
2. Then I go to another entry from Page 1 through Page 2 to Page 3 to edit the selected entry. Here in emtpy DataCards I see the same values from the previous entry suggested as default values. But I don't want them to be suggested, because sometimes I don't have data - so I need to leave them empty. My default should be blank, but instead it takes data as default from previous entry. Instead saving as it was suggested I need to refill all the DataCards from drop-down menu for each DataCard which takes time OR I need to cancel editing, go back and then return again to edit page - then it will be empty because the last appearance of Page 3 had no fields filled.

Hi @arseny_sandaar 

We can use the Global variable instead of referencing the gallery.

Set the OnSelect property of Gallery to

Set(SelectedRecord, BrowseGallery1.Selected);Navigate(DetailScreen1, ScreenTransition.None)

Set the Item property of the Form to

SelectedRecord

Set the OnSuccess Property of Editform to

Set(SelectedRecord, Self.LastSubmit)

The above OnSuccess property will work only when you use SUbmitForm(FormName). If you use the Patch command then we need to set the saved record like below

Set(
    SelectedRecord,
    Patch(....)
)
