Pass selected gallery item to multiple screens

[AndrewGibson1]

Hi all,

I have a gallery list on my landing page, and the user selects an item which navigates to screen 2 which shows the item details in a form.

My form is rather large so I am spreading this over 3 screens (screen 2, 3 and 4) where each one shows a different section of the form (so users can effectively tab through the different sections of the form).

The selected record will show correctly in screen 2 but when users tab to screen 3 or 4 the context of the selected item is lost and it seems to default showing the first record in my gallery list.

The formula in the OnSelect property of the landing page to navigate to screen 2 works a treat using a variable

Navigate(scrScreen2,ScreenTransition.None,{varEventRecord:ThisItem.ID})

However on screen 2, using this same formula on an icon (OnSelect property) to navigate to screen 3 (so users can fill out the next section of the form) it won’t work.

Navigate(scrScreen3,ScreenTransition.None,{varEventRecord:ThisItem.ID})

I receive an error message “Incompatible type. We can’t evaluate your formula because the context variable types are incompatible with the types of values in other places in your app.”

I have added in a label in screen 3 to show the value of varEventRecord and it shows as blank so it seems this is not being passed through.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Option1: Set a global variable with ThisItem.ID value and use it in multiple screens. 

Option2: If you prefer to use local variables, 

      Navigate(scrScreen3,ScreenTransition.None,{varEventRecord1:varEventRecord})

Rather than using varEventRecord:ThisItem.ID, try using this:

Navigate(scrScreen2,ScreenTransition.None,{Galleryx.Selected})

Many thanks for this - I went with option 1 as the ID value is meant to be used on multiple pages.

I tried your idea with this syntax:

Navigate(scrUserDetail,ScreenTransition.Cover,{galUsersList.Selected})

And it produced 2 errors, unexpected operator and unexpected characters and the location of the errors is .Selected
