Make a button enter a value in a text field.

[Anonymous]

Hi Power App Community,

I have a request that should have a simple solution but I cannot figure out how to do it. 

I created a button and want that button to enter a value of 27 in a text input field. The text input field is later used in a calculation and I got that portion of it working. The text input field already has a number in there (6) and I want to replace that number with 27 every time I press this button. How do I do it using OnSelect? Any help is appreciated.

Put this code in the OnVisible property of the screen.

Set(myCustomValue, Blank())

Use this code in the Default property of the Text Input you want to change to 27.

myCustomValue

Finally, take this code and use it in the OnSelect property of the button

Set(myCustomValue, 27);
Reset(Text_Input_FieldName);

Insert a button and put this variable:
Set(No27,"27")
Then in the Textboxi default property put this:
Reset(Textbox1);No27

Anytime you press the button, the figure will change to 27

Replace Textbox1 with the actual name of your input textbox where user will enter data.

Neither one worked.

I'm trying different combinations right now to get it work and will select a solution when I'm done.

I followed your instructions but when I click run and then click the button, nothing happens. No errors either.

I'm going to post some screenshots soon but nothing happens when I click the button after your suggestions.

From my tests the comma "," should be replaced with a semicolon ";"  using @mdevaney  approach.

After  chaning this the button works fine in my testapp.

kind regards,

The reason I used commas is because my PowerApps tenant locale is set to English.  Those with other languages must used semi-colons instead of commas.  So far I know this is the case for Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese.  Others definitely exist.
