Submit form, navigate to a Thank you screen

[Anonymous]

HiI am trying to do a very basic thing but I am stuck and I cant find the answer anywhere.
I have created a form from a list in Sharepoint:

I have added a button that I would like to do the following:

1. Form is filled in (SharePointForm1)
2. Click Submit (my button)
3. Form disappears
4. New screen shows up (and you should not be able to see the List) (ThankYouScreen)

On the Button I have added this is OnSelect:
if(VarCurrentMode,"New",SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Navigate(ThankYouScreen),ScreenTransition.Fade),SubmitForm(SharePointForm1)) 

On the SharePointForm1 I have added in OnSuccess:
ResetForm( Self );
If(
varSave,
( SharePointForm1 ),
RequestHide()
)

Any ideas? Very greatful to any good ideas!

Correcting some Syntactical error in your formula, try as below:

If(VarCurrentMode=FormMode.New,SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Navigate(ThankYouScreen,ScreenTransition.Fade),SubmitForm(SharePointForm1))

You never want to navigate immediately after your SubmitForm in your formula!!

There is no guarantee that the form submitted properly and, if you navigate away, the user will never know and your data will be lost.

Instead, change your formula to the following:

SubmitForm(SharePointForm1)

Then, perform any logic in your OnSuccess...including the Navigate function.

I would provide a suggestion on that entire formula, but your provided formula is not accurate, so I will simply say...add your navigate there.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thank you very much for you answer, but it didnt work unfortunately. I added the formula you provided but now nothing happens instead? Any new idea?

Thanks, and you mean I should put it into SharePointForm1?

This is how it looks, I guess the ThankYouScreen marked red should tell me something....?

Hello @Anonymous:

as per screenshot, issue is with varCurrentmode, How are you setting varCurrentmode variable value?

Please paste code here.

You can try below:

If(VarCurrentMode="New",SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Navigate(ThankYouScreen,ScreenTransition.Fade),SubmitForm(SharePointForm1))

Yes, you should have the formula I mentioned in your OnSuccess action formula of your form...if that is SharePointForm1, then that is the place.

You really need NO logic in your Submit action because BOTH the true and the false of your variable condition would result in a SubmitForm...so why even bother?

Simply do the other check you want in the OnSuccess and then navigate as needed.

I see, thanks! Sorry, I am really a newbie so if you have a complete other formula that can do the magic instead 🙂

Have you tried what I mentioned?  If you're a newbie to PowerApps - the one thing you want to start to learn immediately is that you do NOT want to navigate in the Same formula as the SubmitForm.

SubmitForm "starts" at the point that the function is encountered in the formula.  BUT, it does not "wait" until it is complete!!  It moves on to the next function in the formula.

So, there is NO guarantee that the submit form has completed by the time it gets to your navigate.  And, if you navigate prior to the completion, you risk losing data and frustrating users!

THIS is why there is an OnSuccess action (and OnFailure) on the form - to provide you a place to have operations occur when it is a success.
