Passing Edit Form value into another Edit Form lookup field

[Sylvain3]

I use Customize List with PowerApps with two SharePoint lists.

• Events list
• Tasks list

Tasks list get a lookup value to Events into SharePoint.

The problem is simple.

When a new Task is created, I try to pass Title from an Edit Form (EventsForm) to a lookup value Link to Event in another EditForm (TasksForm).

Normally is very easy to do and I used this king of action:

Default =

{

    '@odata.type' : "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePointList.SPListExpandedReference",

    id : varEvents.ID,

    Value: varEvents.Title

}

This is with a variable or GalleryForm.Selected.ID

But now, Those formulas are not working because I don’t have a gallery or I don’t select any item. To open the Event the user go directly into SharePoint click on See Tasks and New Task.

Hi @Sylvain3 ,

Why not set the same Variable OnChange of that Combo Box

Set(
   varEvents,
   Self.Selected
)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Thanks to reply,

I can because the problem is how to set the variable as a record?
On Eventsform, on click on the See Tasks button,

OnSelect = Navigate(TasksScreen);Set(varEvents,ThisItem) is not working.
I try, 

OnSelect = Navigate(TasksScreen);Set(varEventsID,DataCardValue8.Text);Set(varEventsTitle,DataCardValue1.Text);

DataCardValue are the ID and Title of my EventForm

On the combo box in the TaskForm,

Defaut = {
'@odata.type' : "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePointList.SPListExpandedReference",
id : varEventsID,
Value: varEventsTitle
}

That work but the lookup value if not save in SharePoint List because my variable is probably not consider as a record.

@Sylvain3 ,

You need the field name - varEvents.FieldsName.Value (and Id)

[Sylvain3]

This still not working. I can't past .ID or .Value, try DataCardValue.Selected.ID still not work

only .Text is working to create my variable.
I am on EditForm from a Customize list with PowerApps.

@Sylvain3 

What is the name of the Lookup field in the varEvents record variable that you need to reference ? The syntax you have used is relevant for a Lookup field, but not applicable to anything else.

[Sylvain3]

No sure I understand the question ?
From EventsForm,

Title is my reference, DataCardValue1

to pass into a new task TasksForm to the lookup field

Link to Event, DataCardValue6

That mean my varEvents should pass the record from EventsForm

@Sylvain3 ,

What you posted

{
    '@odata.type' : "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePointList.SPListExpandedReference",
    id : varEvents.ID,
    Value: varEvents.Title
}

is the syntax for referring to a Lookup field. Is this Link to event ? If so it would be something like

{
    Id : varEvents.'Link to event'.Id,
    Value: varEvents.'Link to event'.Value
}

I will be offline now due to time zone, but will pick up your response if any in the morning.

As mentionned, the issue is on the record, to capture the current item on the first Form, only .text is working but this is not a record ? This is probably the problem.

On the second form, get error on Default property

@Sylvain3 ,

Yes - it needs to be the relevant record (the same as selecting a record from the gallery)
