Update Submit Button DisplayMode Based on Changes in Edit Form

[Phineas]

I have an Edit form (Form1).

I have a Submit button with 'SubmitForm(Form1)' in OnSelect.

Is there a way to set the Submit button DisplayMode default to 'Disabled' until any text is changed in any field in Form1?

No changes, individual can click out of screen elsewhere.

If a change is made in any field or to any control in Form1 the Submit button changes to 'Edit'?

@Phineas, use If(Form.Valid && Form.Unsaved, Edit,Disabled) in the Button DisplaMode

No changes made to the test data and Submit button is in 'Edit'.

This is not the desired outcome.

Goal: On new screen/screen open the Submit button should be 'Disabled'.

Once any changes are made to the default data in the edit form the Submit button should change to 'Edit'.

@Phineas , in your app settings, make sure to enable Formula-Level error Managment:

Also, is your form in an edit mode?

[Phineas]

Toggle is on.

Form1 is in 'Edit'.

If I add and exclamation the button is 'Disabled'. However, changes to the form content do not change the button to 'Edit' as desired.

     If(!Form1.Valid && Form1.Unsaved, Edit,Disabled)

@Phineas , I think your issue is one or more of your form's fields has a default value that is using a lookup. When we use a LookUp to retrieve the default value of the field, the lookup will run when the form is visible and that will be considered as a change.

Hi @Phineas ,

Please try below approach:

1. OnVisible of the Screen set a variable:

UpdateContext({Mode: true})

2. OnChange of all the input controls such as Text inputs and combo box in the form:

If(Not(Self.Text = Parent.Default), UpdateContext({Mode: false}, UpdateContext({Mode: true})

3. DisplayMode of submit button:

If(Mode, DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit)

However, please note that if user changes some fields then change a part of them back to default, this may not work properly.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
