Hello,

I have a problem with saving data on my form. I've got 2 forms related by myId. MyTable, MyTrans with the same tables.

When I create a row on MyTable and change the form by clicking on myId field the MyTrans form opens with no data since no data has been saved yet. Ofcourse it works if I hit the save button first, but what if I don't?

I need a way so the user can't change the form without saving it or a way to save it automaticaly on clicked on myId reference field.

How can I accomplish it?

How to save row data on changing forms

Hello RadekM,

To save as much data as possible before users navigate between related forms, you can enable auto save features or write JavaScript to save a form automatically when a user clicks certain fields, such as the myId reference. Dynamics 365/Power Apps has an auto save built in, and saves user changes every 30 seconds automatically, or when navigated away from a field/tab, but does not save a new record automatically if a user navigates away before saving. You can use a script on the myId field OnChange or OnClick event that calls formContext.data.save(). Calling this method will save the current record immediately, which will minimize data loss if a user were to switch forms without explicitly clicking the save button.
