filters view based on the view you open the record in

[Krbromark]

Hello all! 

I don't now how to explain this but i try.. The issue is regarding two custom entity lists.

I want open a record, and remember the view of the record. 

So if i open a record from "Cancelled Workgroups" view (see picture 1). I want that record to remember its view and show other records from "Cancelled Workgroups" view and not "Active Workgroups" view (see picture 2). 

What do i need to do to solve this issue? 

Can i change the view based on GUID from the record i open?

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Best Regards

Hi

I am just a bit curious on what you are showing on your second page? how or what view is showing up there? 

My initial thoughts:

• I would add some flag representing the view, you can loop the data via JS/jQuery and modify the URL / details
  • in this post I talk about doing modifications against an Entity List but you can use the part where I am looping the entity list rows: http://oliverrodrigues365.com/2020/05/13/power-apps-portals-adding-icons-to-entity-list-action-butto...
• now from the seconds page I guess you might need another JS to read the query string getting the view that is opening from
  • I wrote a while ago a JS for this, hopefully still works (you just need to define the selected index representing the view): 

var selectViewControl = $(".view-toolbar").find(".view-select").find("li").find("ul");
                var options = selectViewControl.find("li");

                var selectedOption = options[selectedIndex];

                if (!!selectedOption) {
                    $(selectedOption).find("a").trigger("click");
                }

I hope this didn't make you more confused 😉

Hi to you both @Krbromark  and @OliverRodrigues.

Your solution with Custom Javascript on the entity list could work, @OliverRodrigues. We would use your short script to get the entity list view and add that to the URL as a parameter on the item action links. That's a great idea, thank you!

@Krbromark and I will work on it tomorrow and get back to you whether it works or not. 

Cheers!
