EditForm with save and ViewForm with Submit Button

[AbubakrWorking]

Hello Community,
I have created a form that gets data from dataverse table and I have two buttons(Save and Submit). Both buttons submit the form. The thing I want is if the user opens the form again after submitting it through the save button, the form mode should be edit for editing purposes, and if the user opens the form after submitting it through submit button, the form mode should be ViewForm. Any solution to it will be appreciated

Hi @AbubakrWorking 

We need to store some value to know what action the user has performed. For example, When the user clicks the Submit button, you need to patch (Update) the one more field to store another value so that form can use that field later on.

• Submit the form
• Patch the field (Is Submitted - New custom field)
• Use that field to allow or deny the form edit

Example of your Submit button. Set OnSelect of the Submit button

Set(SavedRecord,SubmitForm(FormName));
 If(
     IsEmpty(Errors(TableName)),
     Patch(TableName),SavedRecord,{
     prefix_issubmitted:true
     });
     Notify(
         Concat(Errors(TableName), Column&": "&Message),
         NotificationType.Error
     )
 )

Note: In this example field name "prefix_issubmitted"

Set the DefaultMode of the form to

If(
    Text(DataCardValue10.Selected.Value) = "Yes",
    FormMode.Edit,
    FormMode.View
)
