toggle On Change property triggered at every FormDisplay mode change?

[ValeriaBreve]

Hello,

there is a property on toggle I really cannot grab - on Change.

I assigned a variable to it, the toggle will switch on and off based on conditions and on change update the variable. And I would like to keep it this way - the variable update should only be triggered at the moment where the value gets changed.

However, every time I go from the form view mode to edit mode the OnChange property is re-read and the variable gets re-assigned according to the toggle value, even though the toggle has not been changed.

Is there a workaround? I cannot use the "OnSelect" property as it is not triggered by a calculation (at least that's what I have experienced).

Thanks!

Kind regards

Valeria

Hi @bradt30h,

Maybe there are better solutions, but I compare the actual value in SP with the value of the control.
If there is no difference, I don't execute the rest of the OnChange.

Hi @LennartWalldén and @bradt30h , sorry for the so late reply, I thought I had answered previously but obviously I did not.

I do exactly the same as what @LennartWalldén is also doing - comparing the values from the Sharepoint list to the control value, I have not found another way, but it is very reliable.

Hi all,

I had a similar issue to @ValeriaBreve 

I had a default value set for a Combo Box. I wanted to trigger its On Change function only if the user changed the selection. The issue I was having was that each time the screen loaded, it set a default value on the Combo Box which then triggered its On Change function.

My workaround was to use the Combo Box On Select function to set a variable to true, e.g. varSelectionMadeByUser

Then put the code I wanted to run if the user made a selection inside an If statement on the Combo Box On Change function, so it would only run if the value of the Combobox had changed because the user had made a new selection.

E.g.
If(varSelectionMadeByUser,
    // On Change code here

)

Depending on your use case you may need to reset the variable to 'false' after your On Change code runs.
