Critical: Patch command reset the edit form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All, 

Application data source: SharePoint

I am Using Edit forms to edit current item data. 
Issue:  
I am having a custom powerapp to show supplier information approval form.

Item property: LookUp(SupplierDetails, ID=currentRecID)

This information also needs some attachments to be uploaded. Hence I have another form specially for attachments. 

These 2 forms are toggled between using buttons. Since there are some customized fields, I cannot have attachments in form 1. 

I submit the attachments using: Patch(SupplierDetails, {ID:Value(recordid)}, AttachmentsForm_1.Updates) 

 

When this patch runs, it also reset the data changed by user on another form TO original data. 

And some text fields which are populated using variables, they get cleared/blank. 

 

Need some urgent suggestions on this! Thanks!

    Is the items property of both forms the same?

    Also, just saying that you can use one form even if you have custom fields. You can use Patch which will take care of tour custom fields and then within Patch you can do FormName.Updates which will basically act like a SubmitForm for your attachments.

    Something like this:
    Patch(Datasource, Defaults(Datasource), {Column1: Value}, FormName.Updates)

    Let me know if this works.
