Entry is required for datacard with Checkboxes

Hi,

I have been working on this data collection form in PowerApps which is connected to a sharepoint list.

I am running into an issue with data cards that are multiselect and have been converted to checkboxes (Followed video by Reza). These datacards are set to required. All works well but for some reason, when clicking submit, it does not register the selections the first time. If I click submit a second time it goes through.

I troubleshooted the required datacards by switching them to false which is how I identified the required datacards with check boxes are the problematic ones.

Any help with this is appreciated.

Thanks, David

Hi @Anonymous

Datacard and the control are tied with properties like "DataField", "Default", Required" and "Update". As long as these properties are aligned with control should work.

Hi, @Anonymous and @StalinPonnusamy.

I know this is an older post, but I'm running into the same issue. If you solved the problem, do you remember how you did so? If I set the data card's Required property to "true," the form won't submit the first time, but it submits the second time.

I have a gallery with its Items property set to a multi-select SharePoint field. The OnCheck property of the checkbox creates a collection:
Collect(myCollection, ThisItem)
The OnUnCheck property removes the selection from collection:
Remove(myCollection, ThisItem)
The Default property of the checkbox is:
ThisItem.Value in myCollection.Value
The Update and Default properties of the data card are set to the collection:
myCollection
If the data card's Required property is "false," the form submits just fine. However, if the data card's Required property is "true," I get the error below. If I click the submit button again, the form submits as expected.
