Create Single Display Or Edit Form For Multiple Galleries In PowerApps

Overview

In this article, we will learn how we can create a common Display Form or Edit Form for different Gallery Sources within the PowerApps.

Scenario

We have two screens.

Gallery having information about the interviewers whose designation is “BI Developer”.
Gallery having information about all the Interviewers.

Both the screens have a “View More” button. When the user clicks on the View More, a Common Details form should be opened.

We need a common form, no matter which screen the user has selected the record from.

So, now let’s get started!

Navigate(
DetailForm,
ScreenTransition.Cover,
{SelectedItem: Gallery1.Selected}
);

Step 4

Add the following line of code in Screen2’s Gallery.

Here, we will use the same context variable named “SelectedItem” which stores Gallery2’s selected item.

Navigate(
DetailForm,
ScreenTransition.Cover,
{SelectedItem: Gallery2.Selected}
);

Step 5

We already have a details form.

In the details form, we need to set the item value.

So, add the following line of code in Detail Form’s item action.

Step 6

Now, let’s run the application and select one record from the Galley 1.
