Hello, how are you? I would like to ask you a question

what happens is that I have a sharepoint list with person type fields in a power apps application with an editable form

These person type fields are also found in two other sharepoint lists that are linked to the application

What you want to know is if it is possible with the Update function, is it possible to do a multiple update, that is, if the name of the head of the secretaries area is changed, can this name be changed in the other two lists?

And if this is not possible, how could a multiple update of these person-type fields be done with power automate from a power apps button flow?

Has anyone tried to do something like this? , I have not been able to find much information about it, thank you very much I am attentive and grateful for any information that you can provide me

Hello,

Updating multiple list in one patch function is not possible, you will have to call the patch function three time, something like that for example on the onselect property of a button
Patch(FIRST_LIST,ITEM,values);Patch(SECOND_LIST,ITEM,values);Patch(THIRD_LIST,ITEM,values);

Best regards,
Alaa

Thanks for answering, Yes 😞 , I knew that the patch function cannot do this batch update, but by chance you would know how this multiple update could be done, for example, change the name of Sebastian to Andres in all the parts that the list appears and in the rest lists with the Update function? , is this possible too? for these person type columns ??
