Incompatible type error on Edit Form

[burliad]

Hi All,

Not sure why I am getting this error.  I think it has something to do with the Mode=Edit but not sure how to correct it.

If(EditForm1.Mode=Edit, Parent.Default, User().FullName)

Think I found it.  I used:

If(EditForm1.Mode=FormMode.Edit,Parent.Default, User().FullName)

It would still be nice to know the difference between using Mode=Edit and FormMode.Edit

The FormMode.Edit specifically is the for Form operations. However there is also a DisplayMode.Edit, so power apps has to figure out whether you are referring to DisplayMode.Edit Or  FormMode.Edit. 

Just stating Mode=Edit could be confusing as to DisplayMode or FormMode
