Gallery Items not Displaying on Edit Form

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a PowerApps form with three galleries which populate three different SharePoint lists via Patch functions.

What I'm hoping to do is use the form to both submit and update these galleries; however, when editing the form, the gallery items do not display.

I'm sure it is a simple fix, but I am at a loss.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Generally, you could generate an edit form based on Data Source directly, just set the Item property of the Edit form with Gallery.Selected and add a submit button by setting the OnSelect property with SubmitForm(EditForm1).

Further, to make the Gallery display the update from the form, you just need to set the OnSuccess property of the form with Refresh(DataSource), remember this data source should point to the one you populate the Gallery with.

Hi, @v-qiaqi-msft,.  Thank you for responding

The scenarios is a SharePoint form designed in Power Apps that collects data for a SharePoint list (called Requests).

The form also has a gallery that collects start and stop dates from user input, as well as the ID of the request.  OnSuccess of submission, I patch the gallery to a separate SharePoint list (called Dates), which utilizes that list's Calendar functionality. 

Ideally, I'd like users to be able to use the form to edit the gallery after it has been patched.  Then, on save, update the secondary SharePoint list. 

However, Once patched, the gallery does not appear on the form.

So, I would need a way to display the gallery on the form after it has been patched, which can be edited and updated to the secondary Dates list

I hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous,

Let me confirm with you:

1). The SharePoint form designed in Power Apps connects to Request list?

2). How you make the form have a Gallery that collect start and stop dates? Insert Gallery into the SharePoint form?

Here is the thing, if you insert Gallery into a form, I am sorry to tell you that it is not allowed in Power Apps, we don't support to insert a Gallery into the form so that we could not make sure that all the features in Gallery and form could work well.

Hi, @v-qiaqi-msft,

Maybe I'm not explaining myself too well.  

I created the form in Power Apps that connects to a SharePoint list--I'm not sure what you mean by "request list". 

I inserted a gallery in the form that connects to a different SharePoint list via a data connection in Power Apps.  Here, users add start and stop dates.  

On submit, the form adds the entered info to the SharePoint list it is connected to, and the gallery adds the entered data to the SharePoint list it is connected to via the Patch function.

All of this works fine.

However, when someone edits the form, the gallery info no longer displays--I'm assuming because it was patched to a different list than the form. 

All I'm looking for is a way for the gallery to display and be editable when the form is edited. 

I hope this clears things up.
