I WAS BUILDING a gallery linked to SharePoint in a Canvas App, and ran into a spot of bother.
 |
| It's that arrow on the right that was giving me grief. |
It was really easy to create a Title in the Gallery that linked back to the relevant item in the SharePoint list. I just used an HTML field and a concatenate expression, like this:
Concatenate(
"<b><a href='https://MySite.sharepoint.com/sites/EO-IT/Lists/CaTS%20Calendar/DispForm.aspx?ID=",
ThisItem.ID,
"' style='text-decoration:None;'>",
ThisItem.Title,
"</a></b>"
)
But you see that pesky arrow on the right side of the Gallery Item? Well, I struggled with the syntax to make that link to the same item in the SP list. I tried several variations on what I thought would work in the item's OnSelect control and kept drawing a blank.
Finally, I tried this simple formula:
Launch(Concatenate("https://MySite.sharepoint.com/sites/EO-IT/Lists/CaTS%20Calendar/DispForm.aspx?ID=",ThisItem.ID))
… and to my surprise it worked. The reason I was surprised is that I’m fairly sure that this was the first formula I tried and that PowerApps threw an error.
So in case anyone else experiences the same glitch, I can confirm that the above is the correct syntax.
Hope that helps someone.
