Text Input converts back to currency when updated

[Gilby1986]

Hi,

I'm creating a training request app, where the employee can create a training request, and edit their training request. I'm attempting to have the app setup where, while the employee is in the EditTrainingRequestScreen, and they need to update the Amount which is already displayed as a currency. Once they finish updating the Amount it converts back to a currency. Any idea on how this can be done? Any assistance in how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. I've provided screenshots below.

CreateTrainingRequestScreen

EditTrainingRequestScreen

Thank You,

Gil

Hi @Gilby1986 ,

This depends on your DisplayMode of your Form- you can do this (you need a number for the user to be able to input in Edit Mode)

If(
    CreateForm.Mode = FormMode.View,
    Text(
        ThisItem.Amount,
        "$ 0.00"
    ),
    ThisItem.Amount
)
