Use field value from one datasource to start a new form in a new datasource

[Anonymous]

Hi all, Im trying to make a basic check list app.

I have two sharepoint lists acting as the data sources.  The first list give me some basic information such as AssetID and specific items I need to know about for the check list.

The Checklist is from a different list/datasource however, this is where Im comming unstuck.  

I can list the Assets (from Datasource 1) and place the information I need into global variables, however, when I create the new form in the other data source I dont see any of the fields I need to check off.

Screen1 - This is where the user selects the Asset (Datasource1) then navigate to the next screen where they begin the checklist by entering some basic details.

Screen2 - "General"Information (Datasource2)

Screen3 - First page of check list (Datasource2)

I cant attached another image, but the last screen is Screen3 in powerapps design with the items listed.

The code below is what I use to create the new form:

Set(gvAssetID,Title);
Set(gvInstalledSystems,DispInstalledSystems);
Set(gvAssetType,AssetType);
Set(gvAssetModel,AssetModel);
NewForm(ServiceDetails);
Navigate(scrChkLstServiceDetails,ScreenTransition.Fade)

Any pointers would be appreaciated, I'm sure Im missing something here to do with either Patch or Update commands but I cant put my finger on it.

Thanks

Make the default property on the fields in your new form to equal the variables applicable to them

Thanks for the tip, but I think i found the problem.  My DefaultForm was set to FormMode.edit on the subsequent forms I duplicated from the original....set each screen/form part to FormMode.New and the records are displaying.

Obvious now as since the entry didn't exist for the asset, then there was nothing to display.
