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 !!

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)
