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!!!

Good morning. Below is how mine looks which I know is wrong so I am asking how did you get to set up yours that way.

[ZeeScience]

So I was playing around with it and I see that you made your animal type column in your table to have the Data type of "Choices". That is why it does it like that. If I am correct, is that what you did?

[ZeeScience]

I think I figured it out now. I was able to make a new column and make the animal type to be choice data type and then when I went to my filter I added them and now it looks like yours. Thank you for sharing the picture because that made me think a bit and then I decided to play with a column I made that had a choice type and I filtered by that and discovered it ends up looking like yours, so I was able to do that. Thank you once again. UP NIGERIA!!!

Hi @Oyin - This explanation is really helpful and I have always followed the same. 2 questions.
1. What should the 'pick me' button do based on our requirement ? Should it only update the shelter status to ' Claimed to Adoption' or it should update any foster family information. Can you clarify this bit ? 

2. how to calculate the date of pickup in the power automate mail ? any logic there 

[ZeeScience]

For me I created two separate screen for updating the family information and the animal so it is more organized. And I believe the date pick up can be anyhow you like. They did not specify if we should calculate it. For me, I plan on using a generic date.

Hey, so I thought about it again and saw that the Pick Up Date should be calculated. One method I plan on using is creating a Date of Pick Up in my Animal Data column and then making the data type a Power Fx and then using one of the functions to add 5 days to it so that the pick up date would be 5 days in advance

@Oyin - Thanks. can you share me the screenshot of your homepage ? How do the foster family navigate to the register foster family screen and Pet confirmation page in your app ?

[ZeeScience]

Create a column in your animal data table and then set the Data type to Power Fx and use the formula below so it automatically calculates it:

DateAdd('Date of Foster', 5, TimeUnit.Days)

But if you want to make it better, you can make it a calculated column. For me I let Power Automate do it for me

@Oyin - Really appreciate your help and response. You are inspiring me to do this challenge in a better way. Kudos to you.

Thanks for your kind words.

I used the fx below for my 'Pick me' button.

Onselect = Set(varSelectedItem,
    ThisItem
);
 Navigate(Screen1); NewForm('Form1')
