Can't save changes with Deep Linking

Hi Team - I have created a deep link where it is sent to an approver via email. The link works fine and takes me back to the edit form, however, the changes are not getting saved.

From the record page, I have to go back to the gallery, select the record and edit it through there in order to save the changes.

Why isn't my deep link saving the changes?

Hi @Annasuela_ this is just a hunch, but have you associated the parameter to a record which will help you identify which record to update?

Because if you have to go back to the gallery to select a record for it to work, you're either updating the wrong record or you're not updating the record.

Hi @ProjectVelox It looks like the record is not updating at all and is staying in limbo until i go back to the homepage, select the gallery and the specific record. Then it updates.

I have set my gallery to ThisItem.varID

Here's my onStart: If(!IsBlank(Param("ID")),Set(varID,LookUp(TechProdHCTracker,ID = Value(Param("ID")))));

I receive this email:
The link takes me to this page:

Here's the code of the send icon associated for Tech:
Am i missing something?

What if we try placing this on the OnVisible of the screen instead of the OnStart: If(!IsBlank(Param("ID")),Set(varID,LookUp(TechProdHCTracker,ID = Value(Param("ID")))));

Hi @ProjectVelox - It is still doing the same thing. I tried revising the "Send" formula to the following which seems to be working for the "Record History box"

Set(varID,Patch(TechProdHCTracker,varID,{RecordNotes: Char(10) & Char(10) & varID.RecordNotes & Char (10) & Char(10) & $"{Now()} {User().FullName} has updated this record: on {Now()}: Tech Status: {DataCardValue10.Selected.Value} Comments: {CommentBox.Text} ____________ "& Char (10)}));
But i need it to work for the Tech Box (items retrieved from varID.Thisitem)

What if you also add the checking of the parameter value and assigning of record on select of the send icon?
If(!IsBlank(Param("ID")),Set(varID,LookUp(TechProdHCTracker,ID = Value(Param("ID")))));

Then double check if it's actually pulling up a record on select

@ProjectVelox it did not make a difference unfortunately. The patch function appears to work correctly. It looks like the "submitform" is not working correctly. Could it it be that I need to set a "Set" variable there?

That is correct. Since the patch works, you might need to ensure that the record associated to the tech box has been set based on the parameter.

@ProjectVelox how can I ensure that is happening? it definitely looks like that is my issue. My form is not getting submitted to "varID". How can I revise the formula to ensure the form is getting submitted to "varID?"

@ProjectVelox - one last note, when I set the items property of the form to varID, select a "approve" or "reject" status, and press "submit", it actually removes the value on SharePoint list "approved","pending". It sets the value to blank, which makes me think that I'm going in the right direction because it is doing something with the record.

Would you be free for a call? Maybe it would be easier to discuss things over a call? I will send over the link to the meeting via message
