Hi
I am struggling with something that to seems pretty easy to do, but for some reason i am not finding what I need to make this happen.
Here is what I tried so far..
I am collecting records from a form(NewForm) into a collection, i then have a gallery to show the collected Records and by clicking each record in the Gallery control, I am trying to load this record in to an Edit form for further editing using datasource (Collection name) and Items property as Gallery1.Selected. But this seems not working as it doesn't show any records on the form.
How do i show the Gallery1.selected item from a collection on an Edit Form for further edit.
I know we should use Patch to save to the datasource but I am stumped to what do i need to do to show the selected record on to an edit form
Looking for hlep, i appreciate it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can indeed patch to a collection. But the issue is that at this point, you must manually make the form instead of relying on the premade display and edit forms, as they don't yet recognize collections as a valid datasource.
HI
When you Patch, it becomes a Saved Permanent data in a datasource, such as Excel in Dropdow/ OneDrive, CDS, SPL
Whe you Collect, it becomes a Temporary data in your local computer (It will disappear when you close the apps).
Let say you are using Collect(DS1, Condition), the Gallery1.Items = DS1 shall be able to show all data.
Please try this.
TQ
