Power App reverting back to Display Name even after correction

Hi all,

I have a Power Apps canvas application that has been in production for about 2 years with ongoing evolutions. At the beginning of development the code "requested" and accepted the Display Names of the columns (I actually posted about it flipping between wanting the Logical versus Display Name and having to change 100 sudden errors) now every time I open the app in development, I'm talking every day, the app is showing errors and I need to change the names back to the logical name. I change them, save and I'm able to carry on. The next day, the code has reverted back to the display names and all of the code is broken again. It is exasperating! Does any one have any idea why this is happening ? Any idea how I can get it to keep the modifications I make ? Thankfully when the app is pushed to production it works, but I have to take 10 minutes every day to modify code that has been corrected a thousand times.

Strange behaviour of the PowerApps. Have you find the solution or the reason behind it?

@CA1105,

I haven't yet understood why it is not saving the changes. I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on it.

Whilst developing the app originally I had an issue where the app suddenly threw errors in all the places the display name was used and it wanted the logical name. I believe this was after adding ShowColumns which required the logical name and so everywhere where the display name was used was used it was no longer recognised.

Can anyone help with this ? 41 errors that need correcting every day and the corrections never save. I'm tearing my hair out !
