If Connected, Submit Form If Not Connected add to Collection - App online yet still adds to collection

Posted on by CorgiMad

Hello Everyone!

I have a submit button which if its connected to Wifi/data then it will submit the form back to the data source. If its not connected, it'll add to my collection. Recently I've noticed, that even if I'm Connected and press the Submit button that it'll just add it to the collection. The collection then gets uploaded either by going back into the app or clicking the refresh button.

Does anyone know why my app is adding data to my collection even when online?

Many thanks

Hi @CorgiMad ,

The syntax should be

If( Connection.Connected, . . . . . .

Hello @WarrenBelz

Admittedly I noticed that error after posting so changed it to the right syntax. However, it now spits out the below error against the SubmitForm...

Many thanks

Hi @CorgiMad ,

I was looking for something obvious, but it is not there - that code certainly should submit your Form if online and add to the Collection if not. The only thing needing changing is the SaveData at the bottom belongs only in the Offline result.

If( Connection.Connected, SubmitForm(SurveyForm), Collect( colOffline, { OriginalIDC: OriginalID.Text, AddressC: Address.Text, PostcodeC: Postcode.Text, COAMC: COAMD.SelectedItems, NetworkC: NetworkD.SelectedItems, PipeIDC: PipeID.Text, DateBOMReportedC: BOMReport.SelectedDate, PipeDiameterC: Diameter.Text, PipeMaterialC: Material.SelectedItems, PressureTierC: PressureTier.SelectedItems, SurveyDateC: SurveyDate.SelectedDate, MainsTracedC: MainsTraced.SelectedItems, PhotoofMainsTracedC: MainsP.Image, MainsBuiltOverC: BuiltOver.SelectedItems, BuildingTypeC: BuildingType.SelectedItems, BOMDetailsC: BOMDetails.Text, BOMPhotoC: BOMPhoto.Image, TrialHolesC: TrialHoles.SelectedItems, TrialHoleFC: TrialHoleFindings.Text, MapsCorrectC: MapsCorrectValue.SelectedItems, MapsPhotoC: MapPhoto.Image, DR4RaisedC: DR4Raised.SelectedItems, DR4ReferenceC: DR4Reference.Text, DR4EvidencePhotoC: DR4EvidencePhoto.Image, AdditionalCommentsC: AdditionalInfo.Text } ); SaveData( colOffline, "SavedItemsToKeep" ) );

There is really nothing you can change that I can see.

Hello @WarrenBelz

Thanks for the quick response!
It really is a strange one.
When you say "The only thing needing changing is the SaveData at the bottom belongs only in the Offline result", where exactly would this go (Sorry not had my morning cup of tea). Moving it into the If statement?
Many thanks

Shelley

@CorgiMad ,

Yes - not much use saving it it you are online and have submitted the form.

Took a while but in the end I just recreated the form and it worked perfectly. It was almost like there was something setup in the background that would not like my Submit Form.

@WarrenBelz Have you ever come across an issue where if multiple items (say 4) within the collection get patched back to the Data Source at the exact time and the flow that gets triggered through 'When an item is created' has picked all of those 4 records instead one by one?

@CorgiMad ,

Not to my knowledge sorry, but my usage of that trigger is rather limited.
