Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

So sharepoint has what is called custom forms, that is using power apps to build forms inside a list, so when the user presses edit, add or view record, this form is opened as a popup.

When we press add, the form shows, we fill out fields and press save, we use RequestHide() to hide the form after we saved, and then the record should appear in the list right away, problem is, sometimes it appears sometime we must refresh the url.

Have tried to use a timer to delay 3 seconds after submitting, using request hide in OnSuccess and other buttons, hiding ID field in the list, using a simplified list with no custom actions such as filtering. Nothing seems to work.

People keep talking about some solution a guy posted, that no longer exists, I`ve managed to find part of the conversation in the archive:
Solved: PowerApp is not updating Sharepoint list when subm... - Page 2 - Power Platform Community
But I still wasn`t able to see the exact solution, anyone has a clue what is the SOLUTION?
And was that forum moved somewhere or did Microsoft just decide to fk with use and remove everything?

Thanks

Hi @RB-25021042-0,

Explicitly Reset and Refresh: In the OnSuccess property of your form, use this exact sequence to ensure the data source is forced to update before the panel closes:

SubmitForm(YourFormName); 
Refresh('Your SharePoint List'); 
ResetForm(YourFormName); 
RequestHide();

If you are using the new Modern controls, ensure the SharePointIntegration object is correctly named and not conflicting with classic data cards.

Ensure no "hidden" or "required" fields in the SharePoint list are being missed by the Power App. Even if a record saves, a missing non-essential field can sometimes delay the list view index update.

Is your list view simple or complex? if it has any groupings, it takes time to display new items.

YOu can check the data flow on PowerApps Monitor tool to verify if the "Success" response from SharePoint is arriving before or after the RequestHide() command.
