SharePoint-Integration: Filling a variable in OnEdit-Mode

[sakleboe]

Hello,

I think the core of my "exercise" is quite simple, but somehow it is not working.

If the mode of my SharePoint integration form is "OnEdit" I want to set a variable:

Set(varTest, "Test");

I inserted a text field on my form. The default value is varTest:

After publishing the form the value fieldvalue in edit mode is blank.

Why does the text field do not show any value?

Thanks for your response.

Hi @sakleboe,

Where do you put your Set formula? Within the OnEdit property of the SharePointIntegration control within the app?

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

On your side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Add the following formula within the OnEdit property of the SharePointIntegration control:

Set(varTest, Blank());
Set(varTest, "Test")

Set the Default property of the Text Input box to following:

varTest

In addition, I think it is not necessary to initialize a global variable to store the value you want to put within your Text Input box. As an alternative solution, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

Set the Default property of the Text Input box to following:

If(SharePointForm1.Mode = FormMode.Edit, "Test")

If the issue still exists, please consider take a try to remove the custom form from your SP list, then re-create a new one for it, take a try with above solution I provided, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your help.

I think your tipp with the global and lokal variable is correct. 🙂

While playing around I found out, that I can set a default variable value on the form screen --> OnVisible.

However, the same procedure is not working if I use the SharePointIntegration --> OnEdit.

Is there a explanation for that behaviour? Do I have to change the configuration for my app etc.?

Now I get the point.

I set the variable for the OnEdit mode, but I tested the behaviour in OnView mode.

That can never work. Sorry for the circumstances.
