Some fields in form lag when loading new data

Hello, I find this is a common issue I run into and never found a real solution or even explanation for the problem. I am building an app in Power Apps for Teams, using data from Dataverse. In the attached file (sorry for crappy quality) I am switching between two gallery records. Most of the fields load instantly with the data from the new record, but you can see the "number of samples" field lags, so it shows the previous record's value for a second. 

 

Why would this field take a bit longer to load the data and not the other ones. This is all fake data where there are only five or so records, so it is not trying to search through vast amounts of data. This field is a "Whole Number" field while the others are text fields, if that makes a difference. Just very curious about the best way to address this. It is not visually appealing and it could definitely cause confusion for users if they are not paying attention.

    I think the momentary delay is due to querying back to dataverse.  You could try to make a collection from the table in the On Visible property of the screen and use that as the Items property of the gallery.  Simple ClearCollect(ds,yourdatasource) may to the trick.

    Thanks, I think I have used that as a workaround in the past. Any idea why the lag only affects certain fields? Does a number field take longer to respond to the query than a text field?

    It might if a calculation was involved but otherwise I wouldn't know why that would be so.

    I was also getting same issue, to me to resolve this, I tried below:

     

    Set Variable to Blank() on Home Screen On Visible property

    Set value of field on On Visible property of Form

    and make sure, you are applying Default Value of Field to variable.
