Patching SharePoint Document Library while Document is Open

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

 

I have a SharePoint Online Document Library with documents and attached meta data columns. 
I can patch the meta data successfully with the following function:

 

 

 

IfError( 
 Patch('My - Document Library',
 gal_Current.Selected, {
 'Document Status': {
 Id: Chosen.ID,
 Value: Chosen.Title
 }
 }
 );,

 //If there is error with Patch, notify.
 Notify("Error", NotificationType.Error, 10000),

 //If no Error
 Notify("Success", NotificationType.Success, 5000);
);

 

 

 

However, this function fails and throws the error if the document is currently being edited. 


Is there an approach which allows for patching while the document is open?
