How to wait for Patch to finish before Navigate?

Posted on by mychau

In "OnSelect", I have something like this:

Patch(...);Navigate(...)

Issue is, some of my users reporting that their input was not saved. I suspect that it is because the app navigates before the patching could finish.

So: How should I revise my formula/my app to make sure that patching was finished before navigating away?

Please try the following,

IfError( Patch(), Notify( "Error in Patch" ), Navigate() )

Hi @mychau ,

You can follow the below steps and screenshots :

Insert a Timer (make it invisible once done!)
- Set the Duration of the Timer as you wish
- OnTimerEnd = Navigate([Screen])

- Reset = true
- Start = (Set a context variable, example: "navigate")

Insert a Button
- OnSelect = patch([...]); UpdateContext({navigate: true})

OnVisible of Screen:
- UpdateContext({navigate: false})

Thanks!

So, if I understand this correctly, this forces the system to wait for a response from the Patch before it either responds with an error message (in the event of a failure), or navigates to your next page (in the event of a success)?

Yes, it should wait for the patch to finish before navigates to designated page
