Radio Button Update On View

[CORY1]

I've got a radio button on a Power Apps form attached to a Sharepoint List. Everything is working properly, except on issue. When I open the view form for a list item that has a value populated, it displays correctly. If I switch to a second item that also has a value populated for that field, it'll update to the correct value. However, if I switch from an item with a populated value to an item with no value in the radio button column, it retains the value from the previous record until I select Edit at which point it properly removes the selected value.

How can I get the radio button values to blank out when viewing the form without having to select edit? As mentioned, it works when switching between records that have values. I'm trying to get it to also update to blank when there is no value selected in that column.

Hi @CORY1 ,

I can reproduce this issue. The issue seems to have been resolved after adding ResetForm(SharePointForm1) to the OnView property.

Note that it may cost several minutes to take effect in SharePoint.

Thank you. I'm glad that you were able to confirm the issue. I did find the solution you mention and it does seem to work about 80% of the time. However, for some reason there are still instances where the form doesn't reset properly. I'm still researching to see if I can find an additional solution. A full page refresh seems to solve the problem. I haven't yet found a way to trigger a full refresh from Power Apps though.

Hi @CORY1 ,

Maybe it's the time not to use a Radio for non-required columns. List box would be better without this problem:

This really befuddles me... Microsoft is steering everyone to web-based applications and is promoting Power Apps as a solution over older applications like Access and Excel. But you can't even use a radio button control on a form because it doesn't work consistently. It seems like Microsoft should really be focusing on fixing these really basic user functionality issues first. It's very awkward when you commit to building an app on SharePoint and you have to go back to the client and say "Uh, radio button controls don't work."

The team I'm building the form for requested radio buttons, so I'd like to explore all avenues to make that possible. I may have to steer them back to a list box if the functionality isn't there but it certainly doesn't seem unreasonable to have the radio buttons display properly even with no selection.
