IF statement based context variable

[MJ84]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if someone can help with IF statement being used based on a whether a context variable I have created = true.

So the context variable is button1:true and is set to the visible property.... So if I click a button another one shows and highlights a particular object this works fine.... I then have another button which I want to patch a specific record in a datasource which is displaying in a gallery if that context variable =true. The patch function works fine without the IF statement so this part I know is working ok.

The below is what I have but I'm not sure whether I have to reference the button itself or the variable - or both? 

If(button1=true,
Patch('Table1',ThisItem,{Desk1PM:Userlabel.Text}))

Thanks in advance

@MJ84 Try this:

1. On button click - OnSelect property of button, add below formula:

UpdateContext({ isButtonClicked: true })

2. On OnSelect of another button where you want to patch the item, use this formula:

If(isButtonClicked = true, Patch('Table1',ThisItem, { Desk1PM: Userlabel.Text } ))

For more information, check Patch & UpdateIf functions in Power Apps.
