I have a below field in Powerapps with SharePoint as the backend. I need to set the Yes/No column to true based on the Datacard visible property. I tried below code which includes Self.Visible=true, but it doesn't work. May i know why?

DataCard Visible Property

varCurrentTab = "Communications" && With(
    {
        _Data: Filter(
            'DS',
            'Process Type'.Value = Trim(DataCardValue48_2.Selected.Value) && 'Resource Type'.Value = Trim(DataCardValue6_1.Selected.Value)
        )
    },
    LookUp(
        _Data,
        "YouTubeSubscribe" in 'Field to be hidden'.Value,
        'Hide?'
    ) = false || IsBlank(
        LookUp(
            _Data,
            "YouTubeSubscribe" in 'Field to be hidden'.Value
        ).'Hide?'
    )
)

DataCard Update Property

DataCardValue66_2.Value&&Self.Visible=true

Toggle Default Property

Parent.Default

Hi @Poweruser32490,

The issue is that the Update property doesn't reliably evaluate Self.Visible the way the Visible property does. Also, Self.Visible = true is unnecessary because Visible already returns a Boolean value.

If you want the SharePoint Yes/No column to reflect the visibility of the DataCard, use the same visibility condition directly in the Update property, for example:

varCurrentTab = "Communications" && With( { _Data: Filter( 'DS', 'Process Type'.Value = Trim(DataCardValue48_2.Selected.Value) && 'Resource Type'.Value = Trim(DataCardValue6_1.Selected.Value) ) }, LookUp( _Data, "YouTubeSubscribe" in 'Field to be hidden'.Value, 'Hide?' ) = false || IsBlank( LookUp( _Data, "YouTubeSubscribe" in 'Field to be hidden'.Value ).'Hide?' ) )

Or store that expression in a variable and use the variable in both the Visible and Update properties. This avoids duplicating the logic and keeps both properties in sync.

Avoid using Self.Visible in the Update property. Instead, reuse the same expression used in the Visible property or store it in a variable (such as varShowYouTubeSubscribe) and reference that variable in both places. This is the recommended Power Apps pattern because it improves readability, avoids duplicated logic, and ensures consistent behavior.
