Posted on by 57
  • I have one gallery or grid in my powerApps application.
  • The grid is connected with the SharePoint online list.
  • Now, I am manually making some changes into my SharePoint online list.
  • The applied changes does not reflect to my PowerApps grid immediately. 
  • If I refresh the browser, then the changes are reflected properly.
  • So, I just wanted to know how long it would take to refresh the data from SharePoint Online list to power apps ?

    I may be wrong here but the PowerApp will not dynamically reflect changes in SharePoint.. I would think you would need to do a Refresh to see these in PowerApp; you could probably do this with a Timer control to refresh your datasource every now and again

    HI @Dhruvin ,

    What changes do you made to your SP List itself? Add some new columns or modify some exitsing records?

     

    It is an known issue within PowerApps that the changes you made to your data source itself would not be applied to your app immediately, unless you refresh your data source within your app manually.

     

    As an alternative solution, I think a Timer control could achieve your needs (Refresh in real-time). You could consider add a Timer control within your first screen of your app, then set the Duration proeprty to following:

    1000

     Set the AutoStart property and Repeat property to following:

    true

    Set the OnTimerEnd property to following:

    Refresh('YourSPList')

    Set the Visible property of the Timer control to following:

    false /* <-- Hide your Timer control */

    If you made changes to your SP List data source itself, when you navigate back to the first screen of your app, the data source within your app would be refreshed automaticlaly.

     

    Please consider take a try with above alternative solution, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,
