Do not reset the textinput of a gallery

Hello !! I created a Power Apps screen and on it I display a gallery connected to a SharePoint list. For each item in my list, I have a "Save" icon that allows me to save each change made to each line. However, when I modify my textinputs of different lines (without saving) and then I save a line, everything that I had entered in the textinputs of the other lines is reset. How to prevent this reset?

Thanks in advance !!

Do not reset the textinput of a gallery

The problem you are having may be due to how Power Apps handles the context and position of the controls in the gallery. Interacting with a control in a platform can update the entire platform, thus returning inputs from other rows.
To prevent this, you can use a combination of local variables or collections to temporarily store user inputs. This way, the inputs will not be lost when the gallery is updated.
There is a step-by-step approach to this.
Use archive to store temporary data:
Create collections to temporarily store input values.
ClearCollect(TempData, MyList)
LookUp(TempData, ID = ThisItem.ID).Title

Update the collection as the filler changes:
Use the OnChange property of each input control to update the collection whenever the input value changes.
UpdateIf( TempData, ID = ThisItem.ID, { Title: TextInput1.Text } )

Add the collection to a SharePoint list:
Use the OnSelect property of the Save icon to patch data from a collection into a SharePoint list.
Patch( MyList, LookUp(MyList, ID = ThisItem.ID), LookUp(TempData, ID = ThisItem.ID) ); Notify("Item saved successfully", NotificationType.Success)
