FormState differences on Onload of a form

Hi Community,

When I open a record from a view in the home level. Onload of the form, the form doesn't default to saved mode which is expected to default to save mode. Because of this I'm seeing differences in the behaviour of custom ribbon buttons on the form. Kindly help me in resolving this issue.

Thank You!

Hi Giridhar, how are you?

Looks like you have to get the form type when open a record using a function on OnLoad of the form.

To do that, you need to use the context , passed to the custom function as a parameter and inside the fuction use the getFormType as documented on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-ui/getformtype

My function on a web resource.

The function added on form. Do not forget to pass execution context

Result on create a new record.

And when open a existing record

The values of each type can be ckecked at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/formcontext-ui/getformtype#return-value

Please let me know if this answer you question or if you have any doubts about the instructions. Also, if this resolve you issue, mark this as anwered.

Thanks for using community forum.

Hi Giridhar,

Can you share a bit more details on the issue?

Are you using the getFormType method and not seeing "2" (Update) if you open an existing record that you can edit?
Or are you referring to getSaveMode?
