Issue with Editing Entries in Power App - Parent.Error Not Detecting Values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 125
Hello everyone,

I am currently developing an app using Power Apps and have encountered an issue that I hope someone can help me with. The app functions perfectly when creating new entries, but I run into problems when trying to edit an existing entry. I am using Dataverse as my back end data storage.
Here's a detailed description of the issue:-
  • App Functionality: The app allows users to edit row items. On the new submission page, everything works fine. When I input the 1st approval and 2nd approval, the error disappears as the app correctly detects if there are any items filled in.
  • Problem: The issue arises when I save an entry as a draft and then try to edit it later. When I attempt to edit the saved draft, I receive an error message related to the 1st approval and 2nd approval fields, as if they were empty. However, these fields are not empty; they contain names.
  • Error Details: The error seems to be related to Parent.Error not detecting the values in the 1st approval and 2nd approval fields, even though they are filled.
I am unsure what is causing this error and would appreciate any guidance on how to troubleshoot and resolve it. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue or have any insights on what might be going wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help!
