pass data from gallery to another screen

[amel0410]

Dear guys

please help me to find solution for my issue here.

I have fields form a screen that should be filled after find and get item from search screen.

for the example field named "branch", when user click icon search it will navigate to screen Search Branch.

but I don't know how to pass the data from search branch into field "branch".

When I used function in default "branch" as follows:

If(Generalinfoform_1.Mode = FormMode.New, Concatenate(branchID.Text," ",branchname.Text),varformode.branch)

where varformode I used in item "Generalinfoform_1"

it happen for new form mode:  

the field "branch" will be filled by "branchID branchname" appropriate with I want

but for edit form mode

I can't edit it, even though I have cleared the field before I click icon search again.     

what i want here, I can't pass the data from search branch for both new or edit mode.

please help me, I've been days struggle with this issue.

Hi @amel0410 ,

Could be I'm missing something:

Instead of using a separate search screen, wouldn't it be easier to use a combobox, with search allowed? You can acces the BranchName and BranchID with the properties shown below, just set the ComboBox 'Items' to the list you use.

thanks for your feedback.

but the problem is the data source for combo box is too big.

The field branch is only an example. I have 1 more field that used more than 80,000 records. that's why I used search screen.  any another option?

Busy at the moment, but quick thought:

You could pass the chosen branch back from the search via a global variable, set the Default on the form If(IsBlank(globalvariable),ThisItem.Branch,globalvariable) and blank the global variable each time you open a form.

That way in Edit the form shows the Branch that was present, but replaces it with globalvariable if you search, in a New Form the same applies

As I say: very quick thought, I'll have a better look later.

Hi @amel0410 ,

Rereading you post a couple of times, I noticed you use varformode.branch while you mean Thisitem.branch, could you try setting Default to:

If(Generalinfoform_1.Mode = FormMode.New, Concatenate(branchID.Text," ",branchname.Text),ThisItem.branch)

?

Hi @amel0410 ,

You wrote:

"When I used function in default "branch" as follows:

could you replace that formula with:

If(Generalinfoform_1.Mode = FormMode.New, Concatenate(branchID.Text," ",branchname.Text),ThisItem.branch)
