Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a simple form, connected to a entity on CDS and a button with the "SubmitForm (EditForm1)" formula, but whenerver i make a new record that record is duplicated. I'm not clicking twice on the button. What should i do to resolve this?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi AlexVOR,

     

    Does every new record you created will be saved duplicated? Will the app return any error message when duplicate records are saved?


    How is the Form configured?


    What column types are there in the entity?


    Are you running PowerApps studio on Web or on Windows? What’s the device you are using?


    According to your description, I create an app based on a CDS entity.


    I run the app on PowerApps studio for Windows, when I use SubmitForm function to save data to the entity, I don’t get duplicated records.


    Please show me more details about this issue to help reproduce it on my side.

     

    Best regards,

    Yes, every record is duplicated. There's no error message.

     

    The form's configuration:

    The entity have columns with various types: text, number, date, dropdown lists, etc.

    I'm running PowerApps Studio on Web, using in a browser at my PC.

     

    What i see, is that in one record everything is saved right and in the duplicated record the most of the columns are with their default values.

    Any help is appreciated, thanks!
