Show Object When Editing App, but Hide When Using App

[IPC_ahaas]

Is there a way to have an object hide when the App is being used/ran, but show it when I'm editing the app? I have to remove code just to edit an object I know is there. Because it's designed to be hidden, I can't see it when I'm editing the app.

I hope I'm explaining this right. Basically, I have a DataCard that only has the Visible=True set when a Checkbox is clicked. I'd like see it when editing the app so I don't have to go into Preview mode every time or remove the condition just to edit it.

I usually set a variable for debug on the on app start. The apply that to my visibility property logic.

Can you explain? I don't see a "Debug" listed under AppStart.

[phipps0218]

Set(Debug, true);

I then change the visible property of the button. Before publishing I change the debug variable to false. Does that make sense?

[IPC_ahaas]

So you're creating a variable called "Debug" and putting it somewhere under AppStart.

Then you're manually setting that value to True or False.

Then on the element that hides/shows, you're adding a condition to "Visible" for "Debug"?

Well, that works I suppose. I figured it was a setting in the PowerApp.

Yeah that is what I have been doing.

OK, that at least gives me a master control of sorts. Thanks!
