Unable to write data from Power apps to Share point list

Posted on by AJ_vizMan

Hi,

I am using Help Desk app with some modifications and using share point list as data source.

Requirement is to write data from power app (filled by user) into share point list ( using SP list as data source).

One possible way is to use "Patch" function but, there are errors-

Patch(MassUploadTemplate,Defaults(MassUploadTemplate), {ID: Id, Category: Category, Priority: Priority}));

Error-

The type of this argument 'Category' does not match the expected type 'Record'. Found type 'Error'.

Name isn't valid. This identifier isn't recognized.

The function ‘Patch’ has some invalid arguments.

Possible Reason - Category & Priority are 'choice' type fields and Patch function may not be recognizing the correct type. Is it correct? Are there any other options available?

Appreciate your time to help me resolve this.

Well, if you are trying to create a new record in SharePoint through PowerApps, then I think you can consider to use submit form function. Otherwise, using patch function requires you to get the value for id, category and priority. One possible solution for category and priority might need to be modified to Category.Selected and Priority.Selected when you try to use patch function.

Re: Unable to write data from Power apps to Share point list

Hi @Anonymous : Thank you for response. Using Category.value and Priority.value in Patch function also doesn't solve the issue. I saw some videos on youtube and got to know that we need to have special treatment for choice columns. But, i am still to make it working for me.

Would you suggest anything that i can check in share point list? Or other suggestion..please

Hi @AJ_vizMan ,

Assuming you are getting the values from drop-downs based on these Choice fields, you need something like this

Patch( MassUploadTemplate, Defaults(MassUploadTemplate), { Category: {Value:YourCategoryDD.Selected.Value}, Priority: {Value:YourPriorityDD.Selected.Value} ) )

You also do not need the ID as SharePoint creates this automatically.
