Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
