Error when trying to save form: Network error when using the Patch function: A server error has occurred.

So for two months my list form made from PowerApps has been working. I had some buttons (with SubmitForm actions in OnSelect, so to save the form) that had conditionals in the Visible property depending if a Combobox option was selected or not. That was working. Today all of the sudden not working (button was always invisible). I get this error "Network error when using the Patch function: A server error has occurred.". I waited a long time and still the same error, unable to save anything. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any other context as to why this might be happening, only that short message.

I'm quite frustrated, as I have literally not touched anything on this app since I published it. The dissapearing button was the only thing I changed so it always was Visible. 

What other things I could check? Sorry if not enough context, but I really have 0 idea what is going on.

    Hey @Jedediah  ty for the fast reply. I'm panicking 😞
    Mmm apart from some new entries to the list, and some new items. Nope no vast changes.

    When I was notified of error by users, I tried changing the advanced setting - quick edit of items (dunno if this is the name in English, is the function that allows you to edit the items outside the list). I set off this option after. But the error was already present before doing this.

    Could you try to create a new form from scratch and see if you are able to submit something in your list ?

    The error you get could be due to the fact that a required field is not present in your form or that you're trying to send incorrect data to a field.

    @Jedediah hey again!
    Tried creating a new sharepoint list, from there to edit the form in PowerApps and it's been loading for like 5 minutes... Tried again a different list, loading eternally as well.

    Created a new form + list in a different Sharepoint channel, no problem to create new list/saving. The rest of my list forms are intact and functioning as well.

    WTH is going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn T_T
