PowerApps | Using Defaults and Reset Functions when Patching SharePoint

Your fields while using a Patch function don't realize if they are in an 'Edit' or 'New' page. In this video we go over the different way to write defaults for single line text, dropdowns, and combo-boxes for our Patching Statement which writes to SharePoint.

Then we set our patch statement up to edit previous entries by setting the Defaults equal to the ID in SharePoint.

Also we create a global variable to let our Form know if we are in 'Edit' or 'New' mode. Finally we define our Reset functions on the OnVisible property of our screens.
