Hi,

I am using a gallery and inside gallery I am using a mix of controls.

Issue:

If I update a drop-down or toogle control then it resets all other controls in the gallery/repeater control.

I am using UpdateIf function to update the collection on 'OnChange' event of the controls.

Please refer the below screenshot for better under standing.

Please suggest ways to ignore/prevent this to happen.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Apologies for late update ..

@stampcoin and @Gabriel G. thanks for your input .. the replies helped me a lot.

The issue is now resolved. As mentioned in my query I was using UpdateIf fx on "OnChange" event of the control. I am still using that but I added below code in addition to resolve.

I added "ThisItem.CurrentProperty" to all the controls on their Default event and that resolved all the issues.

Thanks for the help. 👍

Hi,

As @stampcoin explained, you need to bind values of controls to a column of your record. (which means you probably need to make new columns on your collection or use variables). You need to make sure you use default property bind on your column value too. If your controls still resetting, it is because your collections are not updated properly. Make sure you validate each step of your processes by evaluating your collections and variables here to help you in your debug:

You will get something like that so you can see what is happening in variables:

I hope it helps!

@TS-15052332-0 Hi,

One way you may try is use collections or variables to maintain Control States.
To preserve user input states, especially within galleries, use collections or variables to hold temporary data.

basically:

When an item loads, initialize a collection or variable that holds default states.

When controls within the gallery are updated, update these collections or variables.

Bind each control’s value to the corresponding value in the collection/variable.

hope this helps.
