Pass Variable to Anothe App Using Launch()

[TesDA]

I'm trying to pass a variable from app1 to app2. In both apps the variable is the same: Variable.ID. The app should open on the ResourceScreen in App2. What am I doing wrong?

The below is the OnSelect for an icon:

Launch( "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-9999-9999-ljdflkjsdflkjlj",
{ Navigate: "ResourceScreen" , Variable.ID: "varRecord.ID" }
)

Hi @TesDA ,

try this:

Launch( "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-9999-9999-ljdflkjsdflkjlj&VariableID="&varRecord.ID)

on the app read the values as 

Param( VariableID)

 
I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

Hi @TesDA ,

Based on the formula that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with the Variable.ID variable name and the value you assigned to the variable name. Please consider remove the dot (.) inside the variable name. Please modify your formula as below:

Launch(
       "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-9999-9999-ljdflkjsdflkjlj",
       {VariableID: varRecord.ID},
       LaunchTarget.New
)

Note: I assume that the varRecord is a Record value in your source app (App1), and you want to pass the ID column value under the varRecord to your App 2. It is not necessary to pass the Navigate variable from your App 1 to your App 2.

Within your App2, set the OnStart property of App to following:

Set(ItemID, Param("VariableID"));
If(
    !IsBlank(ItemID),
    Navigate(ResourceScreen)
)

then within the ResourceScreen, you could reference the passed VariableID value through the ItemID variable directly.

Please try above solution, check if the issue is solved.
