Offline Power App - Autogenerated number not synced back instantly

(0) ShareShare

Dear Power Apps Community,

 

I hope you can help out on this. I have created a Power App which does what it is supposed to do. But still I have this weird behaviour, which I'm going to explain. 

The Power App I created works in offline mode. I have a form which points to a table in dataverse. There is one column, which is an autonumber and if I create a new dataset in the app, the dataverse field generated the auto increment.

So for example if I fill out my form like this:

I get the autogenerated number back instantly in the web client.

However, If I use the App on my mobile device, I dont receive the autoincrement instantly, even though I created the dataset.

When I now restart the app, the Autoincrement will be shown as expected. If I wait 5 to 10 minutes and hit that refresh button it will also be shown. 

In case you ask:
I already set down the offline sync intervall to 5 minutes. I also use refresh on the onsuccess property of the form. The thing I don't understand is:

Why does this use case work just fine in the web client but doesn't work the same on the app.

What part do I miss? Can someone help me out?

 

Cheers
