LookUp to SharePoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by gna99 13

Hi,

I have a SharePoint list with two columns:

- CertifiedUser (Person type)

- CertifiedDate (Date type)

 

I have a screen with a submit button and two labels.

When Submit is clicked:

- Patch command adds CertifiedUser and CertifiedDate to the SP list.

- Label1 always displays 'You were certified on '.

- Label2 should display the CertifiedDate, but it is blank.

If I restart the application, Label2 displays CertifiedDate correctly.

 

Text property of second label is: 

LookUp(Certifications,CertifiedUser.Email=User().Email, CertifiedDate)
 
What am I missing? How do I display CertifiedDate after Submit is clicked?
 
Thanks

    Hi @gna99 

     

    When you restart the application, it fetches the latest data from the SharePoint list, which includes the CertifiedDate you patched, and thus Label2 displays the date correctly.

     

    To resolve this issue, you can force a refresh of the Certifications data source after the Patch command. This will ensure that the app has the latest data, including the newly added CertifiedDate.

     

    Refresh(DataSource)

     

    // OnSelect property of the Submit button
    Patch(
    Certifications,
    Defaults(Certifications),
    {
    CertifiedUser: User().Email,
    CertifiedDate: Now() // or another way you set the certified date
    }
    );
    Refresh(Certifications); // Refresh the Certifications list after patching

     

    Thanks!
