How to not get Patch conflicts?

Hello - I have a PA where whenever a user changes a data item, it patches the updated data to Sharepoint immediately. This works great until the user tries to work "too fast", and then we get a conflict error. As if, if I could just pause the PA enough between the user's mouse clicks, the error wouldn't happen. Is there a way to "pause" the power for 1 second after each Patch event, or something like that? THANKS!

How to not get Patch conflicts?

Hi CedarTree72

You could maybe experiment with the spinner component from the Creator Kit.

This could help block the user from triggering another Patch whilst a Patch is in progress.

How to not get Patch conflicts?

Thanks! That's right. There's a patch that I run when "On Change" is triggered. Any specific examples of code you can point to? You would think (?) that PA would finish a patch before allowing the user to continue "entering data". Perhaps what I can do for every field is exit the OnChange code while the Wait variable is still active?

Thanks!

Hi CedarTree72

I assume here that you have an editable gallery with a Patch OnChange of each control in the record ? There would be a a way of starting a timer before the patch code for a second or so setting a Variable to true and then to false OnTimeEnd and making all the other fields View only while the Variable was true. To be honest I have never seen this issue posted, so I may not be correct in my assumption on your process.
