SubmitForm Errors from new update (Read-only / patch error) - fixes on refresh, but only temporarily

(0) ShareShare

Hey there PowerApps Community,

 

I (alongside a few others it seems on the forum) are encountering a problem with our app that seems to have started on the 5th (the night that powerapps updated from 3.23105.18 to 3.23113.20).

 

This issue was not a problem before that, and nothing major changed in the app between the two versions. The issue is that for some of my users, when they try to submitform the form in our app it throws us two errors:

  • Error: The specified column is read-only and can't be modified. - ErrorKind: 10
  • Error: Network error when using Patch function: The specified column is read-only and can't be modified.

I can assure you I am not modifying any of the read-only columns such as the modified or created columns, and nothing has since changed to my code that would have made them stop working. There IS a patch on my form's OnSuccess, but again, it was working normally before for the last few months.

 

Another important but strange detail, is that if the user refreshes the page, and tries to submit it again then it WORKS, and will work for some time before causing the errors again. I can recreate it by going to the app in a browser I have not opened before, or going through incognito, and again if I refresh the webpage then submitting the form works fine. So to me this would seem that there is nothing truly wrong with the code or the app itself since refreshing the whole app allows us to get it to work, it is something on the backend from microsoft that we cannot control.

 

I have tried changing it to the other versions available on the authoring versions, but none seem to fix it. These are the only versions available to choose from. Does anyone know if its possible to revert it back to 3.23105.18 even though it is not on this list? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you so much for your help!

    While you wait for someone else experiencing this issue to respond, try adding a new form, and set all its settings the same as old one, and see if you still experience the issue. Forms are very finicky and can break with the slightest change inexplicably.

    Unfortunately my form is extremely large and has a lot of customizations to it so it would take quite some time to recreate it. Would you happen to know if there is a way to expand the list of authoring versions to be able to get an older one where it was working instead? The tool is live to a large amount of people in the organization so it is a bit frustrating that microsoft updated the app and won't allow us to go back to the most recent previous authoring version. I have just tested restoring the published 3.23105.18 version, and the form submission works perfectly with no errors (which would lead me to believe it is an issue with the new authoring versions), but I could not live on that single published version forever as I need to make changes to the app in other places that are unrelated to the form.

    Honestly you might try staying on old version and revisit in a week and see if it has resolved. I have not encountered this error myself on any of my apps but enough people seem to have, that microsoft is likely already aware and working on a fix,

    I am experiencing the exact same error on a gallery grid view patch function.

    Network: read only patch error

    It fixes and does not error when the page is refreshed and when I load the page without clearing my cookies it also works just fine. 

    Older release 3.23105 has no issues when I restore the old version. However, even making just a small text change and republishing to the new release reintroduces the spotty Network: read only patch error.

     

    It happened right after the new release as well. I have tried a ton of troubleshooting using the monitor feature on Power Apps and not been able to resolve. If anyone has an update on how to resolve this please let us know.
