Unable to update Model-driven Record from Embedded Canvas App

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have an embedded Canvas App to get Pin Location coordinated from my current location for the selected record in the Model-driven app. I have written a Patch formula to Update the record in the Model-driven app but the record is not getting updated. I have embedded the Canvas app in the Main Form of Contacts table.

OnSelect of Save Button below is the formula, I am saving the pin location name and coordinates in the Contacts table of CDS

Patch (Contacts, ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item,
{
'Address 2: Name': DataCardValue5.Text,

'Address 2: Longitude': Map1.ClickedLocation.Longitude,

'Address 2: Latitude': Map1.ClickedLocation.Latitude
});

ModelDrivenFormIntegration.SaveForm()

The Model-driven record is not updating with the data from Canvas App.

I followed https://www.d365geek.co.uk/single-post/2020/04/16/Update-Model-driven-Record-from-Embedded-Canvas-App

Hi @Anonymous,

You don't need to use the ModelDrivenFormIntegration.SaveForm(). You can simply save the Edit form (container of the data ards) with the SubmitForm function. E.g SubmitForm(EditFormName)

You can also RefreshForm is the data is not reflect on the model-driven form afterwards

Hope this helps!

Did this solution work? For me it's not working. I have an embedded canvas app in a model driven app. When I save a record in the canvas app, a record is send to the table that fetchs the model driven app form, but this record is not shown until the model driven app is refresh.

@aorro93, interesting, it used to work. I see there were updates since then. Try ModelDrivenFormIntegration.RefreshForm method?

@EricRegnier and @aorro93 I was having this same problem and did not know about the new method on the ModelDrivenFormIntegration. I applied the change and it did fix the issue I was having getting the model driven app to update. Thanks.
