Help with updating Text Labels with Person and Date/Time

[jbrines]

Hi Guys,

Below is an App edit page

When I click on Yellow Card Sent I want it to put the current user of the app display name as well as update the field in the SharePoint List

When I click on the Yellow Reason I want it to put in the current date and time as well as updating the field in the SharePoint List.

Currently in the OnChange of the button field of Yellow Card Sent I have

UpdateContext({var2:User()})

And on the Update of the Yellow Issued By I have tried below, but it doesn't like it as it is expecting a record value

var2.FullName

Currently for Yellow Reason OnChange I have

UpdateContext({var:Now()})

On the Yellow Issued Date card I have 

var

The issue with the date and display name part is that when I click on + to create a new item the date and display name are put in instead of waiting for me to make my changes.

John.

The red Underline is under DataCardValueSent.Value

@jbrines 

What is the name of this control:

I had assumed it was DataCardValueSent

[jbrines]

Hi @RandyHayes 

It is DataCardValue11 so I change it from DataCardValueSent to DataCardValue11 ?

John.

@RandyHayes OK Got it work and it is showing an emails address.

[RandyHayes]

@jbrines 

Yes, change that to DataCardValue11 in the formula.

[RandyHayes]

@jbrines 

That is progress!

@RandyHayes 

Now on to the time and it comes back with the following error, the parted highlighted is the part with the red underline.

@jbrines 

What is the name of this control?

[jbrines]

My mistake I changed it to the card and not the control. Now changed to the control and get this.

You appear to be putting this formula on a property of the DataCard...this will not work.

I believe you might have missed step 1 in my previous suggestion:

1) Set the Text property of the Label to:

You should be putting this in the Text property of the Label...that used to be in your datacard.

Review these steps that I had from before:

For the Yellow Issued Date - use the solution I provided before

1) Set the Text property of the Label to:

Text(
    Coalesce(Parent.Default,
        If(!IsBlank(DataCardValue12.Selected.Value), Now())
    ), 
    ShortDateTime
)

Replace the DataCardValueReason with the name of your Reason dropdown control.

2) Set the Update property of the Yellow Issue Date Datacard to:

DateValue(labelDate.Text)

Replace labelDate with the name of the control you are displaying the date in.
