Patch function to create Dynamics 365 record throws an error - "An unkown error occurred."

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

I have a PowerApp to create a new record in Dynamics 365 custom entity.

My app has an Edit form with 2 input fields, and a button which executes Patch function to create the record.

 

The custom entity has only 2 mandatory fields  - Name and Owner.

When I run the app and click the button, there is no record created in Dynamics 365. 
I see the error "An unknown error occurred" as in the screenshot.

 

I tried using Errors function but there is no error returned.

 

Am I missing something in the Patch function? Any pointers appreciated.

Thank you!

    I fixed this and it is working now. The text property of the Text Input control was missing in the Patch function. 

     

    Not Working - Patch(PowerAppData, Defaults(PowerAppData),{new_name:TextInput1,new_firstname:TextInput2})

    Working - Patch(PowerAppData, Defaults(PowerAppData),{new_name:TextInput1.Text,new_firstname:TextInput2.Text})
