You are using two separate forms (Form1 and Form2) which is unnecessary here. You might try adding a HomeScreen then with two options "New Item" and "Search Items":

New record workflow:

  • From HomeScreen, user clicks "New Item" button
  • OnSelect of the "New Item" button:
    • NewForm(Form1)
    • Navigate(FormScreen, Fade)
  • User fills in all required fields and hits "Submit" button
  • User taken to SuccessScreen then back to HomeScreen

Search record workflow:

  • From HomeScreen, user clicks "Search Items" button
  • OnSelect of the "Edit Item" button:
    • Navigate(SearchScreen, Fade)
  • OnVisible of SearchScreen
    • ClearCollect(colItems, Filter(dataSource, status=smart))
  • Gallery control on this screen with Items property set to colItems
  • User clicks a "Right Arrow" icon within the Gallery to select a specific record from your data source to edit

  • OnSelect of the "Right Arrow"

    • EditForm(Form1) //notice, its the SAME FORM
    • Navigate(FormScreen, Fade)

  • Set the Item property of Form1 to:

    • If(Form1.Mode <> FormMode.New, gallery.Selected)

You then set the Default values of Form1 controls to something like: - If(Form1.Mode = FormMode.New, Blank(), Parent.Default

This is all from memory, so might need some minor tweaks, but the logic is there.

If you can only choose one of two options, then you'll either want a dropdown or a radio.

Radio is probably better in this instance as you have only two choices. If the number of choices grows then go to a dropdown.

For the display screen why not just use a label to display the name of the option selected.
