I created this short video to show how you can use a couple formula's to use the same form to handle both the New Item and Edit Item input.

This is great.  Question - I have a two part form - one screen for some basic information and a second screen for further information.  If I want to apply this concept of using the same form for edit and new, how would you suggest I do so when going from the first screen to the second? 

Thanks!

Great question!  You should be able to use the same approach with setting a variable to denote if this is a New or Existing item then on the OnVisible of the secondary form screen set the FormMode appropriately.  I'm assuming you have a button that takes you from the basic form screen to the complex form screen so that where you would set your variable.  Hope I understood correctly and answered your question!

That should work - I would just have to have two different buttons I think.
