Submit form and another record flashes up

[AnnaBrodnicki]

I have created a powerapp that for the end user the first screen is a blank/new form and the second screen is a confirmation screen with a label thanking them for sumitting the form.  When I add the link to the live site it works really well, except for the fact that upon sumitting the completed form, the end user sees a previously filled in form flash up really quickly before it navigates to the  confirmation screen.  As soon as it flashed up it's gone again but this is a concern from the point of view of making future apps comtaining sensitive information.

Anyone have any ideas why it's doing this?

After submitting the form the data source refreshes and redirects to the first record(that is the record you see). Do you have any expression between submit form and navigate screen function?

Thank you.  No I don't think I do have an expression between submit and navigate, could this solve the issue?

Hi @AnnaBrodnicki,

Could you please share a screenshot about the issue within your app?

I have made a test on my side and don't have the issue that you mentioned. The screenshot as below:

The user @GK_BPL has faced same issue with you, please check the response within the following thread:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/when-submitting-a-new-form-it-will-flash-an-o...

Please take a try to set the OnSelect property of the "Submit" button to following formula:

SubmitForm(Form1);
Navigate(Screen2,ScreenTransition.Fade);
ResetForm(Form1)  /* <--- Add this code */

Note: The Form1 represents the Edit form control within your app. The DefaultMode property of the Edit form control set to following:

FormMode.New

Or you could also consider take a try to set the OnVisible property of the first screen (which contains the the blank/new form) to following formula:

NewForm(Form1)

then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Kris

thank you @v-xida-msft, this seems to have done the trick, I tried what you suggested and the form seems to now reset on submit, so it still flashed up the form really quickly but now it's blank rather than containing information already submitted.  Thanks for your help, this does the trick for me.
