Hi,
Can you Please tell me, How to Use this same technique, When a gallery and form are in a different Screen.

Hello!
Please kindly help me.

I would like from a data table (DataTable1), select a row from the gallery (gallery1) corresponding to the row of data to select on my table knowing that I am using the same sharepoint list which points to the two elements which are on different screens.

I've been stuck for several days.

How do you do this if you are not using a form, but patch? There is no OnSuccess.

I'm not sure why yet, but this didn't work for me.
