Load existing list item while creating new one

[GregorBecker]

Given a sharepoint list customized with PowerApps the "new" form should have a textfield and button on the top to load the values of an existing list item into the new form. The user should be able to change the values afterwards.

Textfield-Name: QLRev

Button OnSelect formular: UpdateContext({RevItem:LookUp('MyList';'Number' = QLRev.Text)})

How can I now apply the values from the variable "RevItem" to the form fields?

Hi @GregorBecker ,

Make the Default of the control (I assume a Text Box)

If(
   YourFormName.Mode=FormMode.New,
   RevItem,
   Parent.Default
)

@WarrenBelz I changed the value as you mentioned and now loading a reference is working. But the default values of the list now doesn't show when opening the new form and not loading a reference. 

I tried to Prefill RevItem with Lists Defaults which doesn't work:

App OnSTart Function: Set(RevItem; Defaults('MyList'))

Hi @GregorBecker ,

You now have two completely different (which I must emphasise) RevItem variables - one Global from your Set command and the second Context ( Original) item.

I am not sure what you are trying to do with the first one, but my response was in relation to the second original item There is no need to set a variable to the Defaults of a list as a form does this automatically.
