Hello everyone, i'm trying to figure out the cause of this error, this column isn't required in the sharepoint list, but the powerApp throw this error saying that field is required.

I already removed and refreshed the connection, but the error persists, any ideas about how to fix this?

Thank's in advance.

Hi @vsneris ,
Try these steps:
Save and close your Power Apps app.
Clear the browser cache or use the app in a different browser to avoid loading the app from cache.
Open the Power Apps app again and refresh the data source connection to SharePoint.
If the issue persists, ensure that the Area_Demandante field settings in SharePoint are indeed set to optional, and then refresh the SharePoint list connection in Power Apps. If necessary, remove the data source entirely and add it again.

is the area demandante column a person type column (sorry for asking cause its not english xD).

if you have person type columns the emailadress can not be empty.

this is how i patch person type columns without network issues (even when no person is selected in the people picker)

let me know if that helped

The additional fields of the lookup column were the bug cause, the thing I didn't understand is why. No one changed the list and the app crashed
After removing the additional fields and then adding them again, the bug was solved and the app worked.
