Yes, use the Patch() function

Thanks Meneghino,

I checked the patch function. Its more like if i want to update a record. But if i want to set field on submit button click on new item form. Can it be used there ? If possible can you please post an example syntax.

Hi @manjotsingh057,

That depends on where the field for the Yes stored.

If the Yes field is stored within the record submitted by the Submit button, Assuming the Yes field is a text field, then we could take use of the patch () with the following format:

Patch(DataSource, EditForm.LastSubmit, {YesField:"Yes"})

And if you stored the Yes field in other data source other than the one specified with the Submit button, then you need to specify the corresponding data source the records in the patch function.

Patch function in PowerApps
