form.unsaved always returns ture

HI all, wonder if anyone can give any assistance

 

I have a form with the item being varRecord

I have 2 labels 

One with 'You have unsaved changes', with a Visible property of Form1.Unsaved

Another with If(Form1.Unsaved,"Unsaved","Saved")

Neither of these change when I select the save button 'SubmitForm(Form1)'

I also have Notify("The record saved correctly",NotificationType.Success,0) in the OnSuccess of the form and it works fine every time

 

I've been all over my datacards but cannot see anything out of place 

I'm using a selection of text boxes, dropdowns, person lookups, date fields etc the usual.  Some of these have been unlocked but all seems to be correct as I've made changes to a record and it seems to be saving correctly

 

Any possible explanation for the unsaved property always being true?

 

many thanks for any suggestions

Sam

    Hello @Snazzybec ,

     

    I found this online: "I think Unsaved property's principle is to verify the value in the UpDate property of all data cards in the form. If it is equal to the value in the original record, it will be false, if it is not equal to it will be true."

    thanks @StretchFredrik 

     

    Much appreciated for your prompt response.

    I had seen this post and followed the thread but hasn't really helped

    As I've done all the checks on the data I can think of I am still no further forward 

    The data is updating and the OnSuccess message is working so will have to go with that for now

     

    any other suggestions appreciated

     

    many thanks

    Sam
