Depending if you need this across multiple pages you can use either a local (context) or global variable. So is this saying that unless the PowerApp is closed the current value will still hold? Thanks for the link. I have a lot of experience with Infopath and so I am used to values being "pushed". That is throwing an error. Add a second screen.

So as long as the app is open, the value will get passed to other records that you open (in the correspondning screen)?
In PowerApps set field value with button can be done by using a context variable. 05:51 PM. How can we change a column value to variable? 12-10-2017 In this case, I had a Title field displayed as read-only. I also noticed that the values available to the dropdown (Not Started, Started, and Complete) don't show up either with this.
In the form below, I want a quick way to mark a task as done, by clicking on a "button". I do not understand why the variable is set to "New" on the new record. Then when I click on the Add new Item icon from the Display view, it shows that Request Status is set to "New" before I have even clicked the button for this record.

If you maintain the concept that you have of having a button to update a field there is a few steps you will need to take. So, you would change the Default on the DataCard as follows: If(!IsBlank(varProgress), varProgress, ThisItem.whatEverFieldItIs). Once the app is closed, the context variable's value will be lost and must be recreated when the app is loaded again.". https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/functions/function-updatecontext, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/functions/function-set.
You can allso use ContextVariables as "toggle-able" booleans by setting the onSelect property of say a button to: Whenever you click said button it will swap to the opposite value. I have a button in the Edit view that is suppose to update the Request Status to "New" when clicked. i'm struggling with updating a datacard value with a button. Press the button. You cannot update things that way in PowerApps. 12-10-2017 Unless you are Updating the variable anywhere else in the context you are using it, it will remain whatever value you assign it when it was first initialized. Then when the button is pressed or another action somewhere is activated that you want to use to update that field, you simply update the value of the variable using the UpdateContext function. I tried both ThisItem.Default and Parent.Default, but the real error seems to be the variable isn't of the type expected. You would need to set the value of the field you want to change to a variable and then set that variable with the OnSelect event.

Reopen responsibly, monitor intelligently, and protect continuously with solutions for a safer work environment. You set it in the formula for the field Default. An example of a common scenario is when saving/submitting a form, is to set a status field to some certain value, maybe based on a condition in the form. In InfoPath or visual basic like environments I have used in the past (e.g. Set(varStatus, Lookup(Status, Value = "Started")). The Default value of my Request Status field is set to RequestStatusVar. I'm good for now. First, your button will update a Variable - so, in this case, your OnSelect Action will be: UpdateContext({varProgress:"100"}) Featuring samples like Return to the Workplace and Emergency Response Applications, Features releasing from October 2020 through March 2021.

Good to see you found a working solution, just an FYI on your code you might be able to replace the First(Filter('Store Task Template',ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID)) with Lookup('Store Task Template',ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID) which is essentially the same thing but easier to follow.

I don't know if it's the best solution. Instead, it has a more excel-like mechanism: Set the value of your field to be a variable, such as varMyVariable. It seems that variable values carry over to new records? Your controls all "consume" values from other places.
