LoadData Function not responding properly

[RNazareth]

Hi

I am currently trying to build an offline solution for my app using the SaveData/LoadData functions. The logic I am using is that once a button gets pressed its patches the collection with boolean values in turn changing its display mode from edit to disabled. 

The concept works perfectly on the normal flow of the app, however, once I exit the app and the on start function loads the saved data from the collection, the displayed modes are maintained and the patch function stops working. 

I have been trying to fix this for the last 4 days and it's driving me insane... please someone help

OnStart: 

LoadData(HomeButtonHistory,"HomeButtonHistory_Saved",true);

Collection: 

Collect(HomeButtonHistory,{ID:ThisLog_Id,DB_Button_Home:true,STS_Button_Home:false,LWA_Button_Home:false,STC_Button_Home:false,STL_Button_Home:false,TBox_Button_Home:false});

Button Display mode: I have created a gallery linked to the HomeButtomHystory which I use to reference the status of the buttons)

 If(Button_Gallery.Selected.LWA_Button_Home=true,DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.Disabled) 

Button OnSelect: 

Patch(HomeButtonHistory, LookUp(HomeButtonHistory,ID = ThisLog_Id) , {LWA_Button_Home:true, STC_Button_Home:false});

Thank you all in advance

Hi, 

Still no success, but being honest (running the risk of coming across weirdly) I cannot grasp how my solution -using a unique ID value to identify a role within the collection would work during the normal operation of the app and when the data is loaded it would not. 

I can see the data being loaded but the button display mode does not respond to the new data...

I dont know what do to do to explain it better....

It works during the normal running of the app because you are making the change to the button at the same time you are patching the collection.  When you re-load the data you want the collection to make the change to the button.  As I've explained there is no way for the collection that you have to match any record to a specific button so it can't set them.

Hi 

Thank you once again for bearing with me. 

To follow the logic, would I have to create a collection for each button within the app and name the button and status individually?

Not necessarily. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish?  If its just saving the current state of a button to a collection and storing it offline so it can be retrieved, then you should be able to do that with one Collection.  Each record in the collection would store the current state of a button.  Then when that state changes update that record in the collection.  The part you are missing is having something in each button that can be used to retrieve that specific record from the collection.  Please take another look at the example I posted which stores the DisplayMode for multiple buttons in a collection.
