Inserting row above or below other rows in a collection

[p6371174]

Hi,

I'm working with converting an infopath form into powerapps. The problem that I try to solve is to achieve the same functionality as with infopath repeating table, where it was possible to insert a row in a repeating table below or above the current row selected. Is it possible to achieve this within a collection? And how?

Hi @p6371174 ,

You cannot duplicate the functionality of these in a lot of areas, particularly the specific one you mention.

Galleries can be set up to edit items and write back to the data source and also to insert new records and do the same. This is not an "out of the box" function as by default, they are display only, however this can be done. Here is a Video from Paul O'Flaherty covering the subject.

Thanks for answering.

I'm starting to believe this cannot be done. The video does not cover the ability to insert rows before/after existing rows in a collection. It only explains how to manipulate values in existing fieslds for existing rows.

Hi @p6371174 ,

You can actually write a new record from a gallery and then refresh the data source. where it "inserts" depends on your Gallery Sort order. You would use the syntax

Patch(
   YourListName,
   Defaults(YourListName),
   {
      Field1:Field1Value,
      Field2:Field2Value,
      Field3:Field3Value
   }
);
Refresh(YourListName)

and so on for the rest.
