Remove form from gallery when submitted

[Anonymous]

Hello

I am currently working on an app with offline capabilities. I have two galleries, one holds the forms that were submitted to the data source SP and the other holds the forms that were saved offline in a collection. I use a patch function to send each individual form to the data source and when I go back to the home page, the form is in both gallerys.

I really want to know how do I remove the Form from the collection when it is successfully submitted to SP? is there something I need to put in the patch? like a clear or do i need to add a condition to the gallery. Please let me know. Thanks

Hi @Anonymous 

after you successfully pacth the data you need to remove the item from the gallery

Use RemoveIf and define the condition to remove the item posted to SharePoint from the gallery

Where would you put the removeif inside the gallery? would it be in items?

[Anonymous]

it would be removeif(Data souce, ???) not sure what the condition would be

Hi @Anonymous 

Can you post a screnshot of your App where you are patching data to collection and SharePoint

I removed some of the data so it could fit in one image. I have a seperate button on the home screen that patches the selected item in the gallery to SP. It is just a patch with no other code.

Hi @Anonymous 

what is unqiue with respect to the value being added to collection and sharepoint

If for example it is the ID value

then when you patch to sharepoint

do removeif(collection, ID = theidpatched)

or Title = titlevalue patched

I used the title and it seemed to work thanks. However for some reason when i create a form offline it creates two in the collection. Could this be because i do the +1 after my collection? " Collect(MySPCollection,{id: Max(MySPCollection,id)+1 " It creates two forms and when I select one to patch it patches and is removed, however the other form wont transition even though it patches

Hi @Anonymous 

No looks like you are only setting the id attribute by adding 1 to it

must be some other reason or may be you are calling collect twice

check your code base again

Glad to know that you were able to remove the item from collection though using RemoveIf
