Edit button within item on PowerApp to open to SharePoint list item

[Stephenp88]

Hello!

I am trying to link a button on a detail page in PowerApps to open the edit page in SharePoint Lists.

I have an app with a ‘Browse’ page. Once you select an item in the gallery, it opens to a ‘Detail’ screen that shows you all the information about the item you’ve selected. Once on the Detail page, I would like an Edit button but rather than use an edit page within PowerApps I would like it to open to the selected items edit page on SharePoint Lists.

Your help will be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance!

Hi @Stephenp88 ,

If I understand you properly, do you want to open and Integrated form on a SharePoint list item from Power Apps ?

If so, you just need to launch the 'Link to item' property of the record, so for example a button/icon in a Gallery with

Launch(ThisItem.'Link to item')

would do this.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hello Stephenp88,

I might not fully understand what you ment, but can't you instead of going to a detail form, go directly to a edit form? (leaving out the detail screen completly) You can always restrict and/or put conditions in so not being able to edit there.

I tried that but getting errors.

Sorry if I’m not clear, still learning!

Essentially, I have two columns on SharePoint lists, one that’s a status url and another that is the ID for the item. Combining the two would create the correct url to open the specific item in SharePoint lists. 

I’ve tried the below but it produces a url for every ID rather than just the one you’re currently viewing on the app:

Launch( Concat( ‘DATA’, URL&ID,””))

That’s not what I need

Hi @Stephenp88 ,

I am wondering if we are talking about two different things - are you trying to open the record in SharePoint, but showing the integrated Power App directly ? You can then simply select Edit in the top menu it so. If this is the case, you just need to use the code I posted from your app.

I am a little lost with your logic with this Launch( Concat( ‘DATA’, URL&ID,””)) and where you are trying to use it.

I have an app.

I have a SharePoint list.

The aforementioned list is plugged into the app.

I have two pages on my app. One is a gallery which you can scroll through the items on the SharePoint list.

When you click an item it takes you to the second page of the app which shows you further detail of the item you selected.

Once on this detail page, I would like an edit button to open a browser tab to the items edit page on SharePoint lists.

@Stephenp88 ,

That is exactly what I posted except you cannot open the Edit page - it opens on View and you need to select Edit from the top menu (there is no parameter to open it in Edit mode). You just need to launch the 'Link to item' property of the relevant record from Power Apps.

When I type Launch( it doesn’t recognise ThisItem. Also, how can I add the link to the item? Would I need to have a column that has the url for every item?

Hi @Stephenp88 ,

The example I gave was for it being run from a Gallery where ThisItem would be valid. If you have selected the record from a gallery, you can use

Launch(YourGalleryName.Selected.'Link to item')

but ultimately you simply need that field from the desired record.
