Grey Out Button Based On Data Card Value of a Display Form

[ZeeScience]

Hello Community,

I hope this message finds you well. There is a Screen that I have a form that shows the full information of the animals of choice selected by the user as well as a button that proceeds the user to a confirm page to let them finalize their fostering or adopting. To ensure that the user cannot foster or adopt an already adopted animal, I would like to grey out the button on that page so that users can only click it if the Status of the animal on the display form is either Ready for Foster, Ready for Adoption. 

I have tried referencing the DataCard in my IF statement under the button's Display Mode property but no success. Can someone please help me URGENTLY!!! I have attached an image of my screen and how my formula looks. One of my formulas is a comment as well as the main one. If anyone can clarify why both don't work I will be so grateful.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi @ZeeScience ,

I took a different approach, maybe it could be of help. I already filtered only Ready for Foster status (views in model-driven app) animals to appear in my gallery.

Here's my gallery formula: 

Item = Search(Filter('Animal Details','Animal Details (Views)'.'Ready for Foster'),txtSearch.Text,'Shelter Name')

You should reference the field value within the form and not the datacard itself like :

If(shelterstatus.Text="Adopted",DisplayMode.Disabled,DisplayMode.Edit)

I wanted to know, for your Current Location table column, did you use the Power Fx formula, if so how did you do that part. If you did not use power FX, how did you make the current location change from shelter to foster home?

The current location is still Shelter.

From my understanding of the task, submitting the form should trigger the shelter status to change from 'Ready for Foster' to 'Claimed for Foster'. 

I added the option 'Claimed for Foster' to my Shelter status choices in the Animals table and set the status to change at the click of the submit button in canvas app with this formula:

Patch('Animal Details', {'Animal Detail': Form1.LastSubmit.'Animal Detail', 'Shelter Status':'Shelter Status (Animal Details)'.'Claimed for Foster'}); Refresh('Animal Details'); Navigate('Home Screen'); Notify("You have succesfully claimed an animal to foster", NotificationType.Success)

'Claimed for Foster' is different from 'In Foster Home' as it is just newly claimed not in foster home yet. The email in power automate task then provides details for pick up to the foster home. So in reality, Shelter is still the current location.

The same logic is applied in 'Claimed for Adoption' if you check the table in the screenshot below. Animals claimed for adoption are still in foster home and not forever family home. That would only change when the status changes to Adopted.

I think you misunderstood my question, but thank you for explaining this part of the challenge. I was able to do some research and answer the question

[ZeeScience]

Did you do any validation based on the type of animal in the shelter? Because I saw the Shelter Table and it lists the type of animals it takes. How did you edit your Model-Driven App filter to ensure that each specific view can be filtered by Animal Type, Shelter Status and Shelter Name?

[Oyin]

I did not do any validation based on shelter types. My shelter types is a text field. If I understood the task correctly (filter by animal type), the screenshot below is how I hope to satisfy this requirement. If you have contrary or other ideas, pls share. I'm open to that.

[ZeeScience]

How does your filter look like that

Hi @ZeeScience , I don't understand your question. Can you post yours?
