PowerApps Collection behaving differently on different browsers

Hi all,

Our team recently encountered the PowerApps 500/2000 data row limit and we've switched to using PowerAutomate to bring in a JSON String from Sharepoint List to PowerApps and using ParseJSON() to create collections of the tables.

After our QA, we've seen that our ClearCollect's are not populating some downstream collections in our app on some of our browsers.

Here is the code block in question:

ClearCollect(
    NewCollection,
    Filter(
        ParseJSONCollection,
        ProjectID = TextInputCanvas_ProjectID.Value,
        DateTimeValue(Date) = DateTimeValue(
            DateAdd(DatePickerCanvas_Date.SelectedDate, -1, TimeUnit.Days)
        )
    )
);
 

Here are the results:

Coworker 1, ClearCollect works on Chrome but not Edge

Coworker 2, ClearCollect works on Chrome but not Arc (another browser)

Coworker 3, ClearCollect works on Chrome and Edge

We've searched everywhere online for this behaviour and haven't seen anything related.

Any ideas or solutions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

Don't Chrome and Edge use Chromium? Why would there be different behaviour if they are both up to date?

Hi,

The inconsistent behavior of ClearCollect across browsers is likely due to how ParseJSON() returns untyped data, especially for date fields.

Different browsers may interpret untyped or loosely formatted dates differently, leading to filtering issues.

To ensure consistency, explicitly cast parsed JSON fields using Text() or Value(), e.g.:

DateTimeValue(Text(ThisRecord.Date))
Value(ThisRecord.ProjectID) = Value(TextInputCanvas_ProjectID.Text)

Make sure the date format in your JSON (from Power Automate) is ISO 8601 (yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ) for reliable parsing.

You can debug this by displaying the raw value in a label or gallery:

Text(ThisRecord.Date)

Normalizing data in Power Automate and casting properly in Power Apps should ensure consistent behavior across all browsers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks!

@EZ-10040555-0,

I have never experienced this kind of cross browser issue, I also doubt the version of power apps will cause any issue like this.

I would recommend you to connect with Microsoft Support Team for this issue.
