How to force a Gallery to refresh its cards

[Mattw112IG]

I have a gallery, I have an edit form

When I submit the edit form would like the gallery item to refresh it's card with latest data

Data currently gets loaded to a collection when powerapp starts

"Refresh()" doesn't seem to work.

How would I do this?

ClearCollect?

Thanks,

Terry

HI @Mattw112IG ,

You need to refresh your data source

Refresh(YourDataSourceName)

This is assuming your gallery Items are directly from the list (not a collection)

Hi @Mattw112IG ,

Do you mean that your data is saved in a collection and the gallery display the data in the collection?

Do you want to refresh the gallery items when you update your data source?

The reason why you met the problem is that:

1)Refresh() function is used to refresh data source, not collection

2)If you update your data source, data in the collection will not be updated automatically, you need to recreate the collection with the latest data of your data source.

So here are two solutions for you choosing:

1)use the data source as the gallery's Items directly, not the collection

Then set the form submit button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Formname);Refresh(data source name)

 //refresh the data source after you submit data

2)still use the collection as the gallery's Items

set the form submit button's OnSelect:

SubmitForm(Formname);ClearCollect(collectionname,data sourcename)

//recreate collection after you update the data source.

Best regards,
