PowerApp form (Custom Sharepoint List) saves but but does not display entries/data

Dear Helper,

I created a Travel Request form for my company by customizing a SharePoint list. The form submits successfully but does not display all entries when we try to view the submitted form. The attached screenshot below shows a form that ideally contains data in all fields but does not return in any of the previously completed fields when trying to view the form. I'm not sure what the issue is but below is the value I have in OnSelect for the submit button.

SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Navigate(OutcomeScreen)

I'm not a PowerApp pro, so I'm curious why this isn't working and would like to get some help. Could this be an issue with saving the content?

For one of the fields that is not showing the recently saved value, check the Default property of both the data card itself and the DataCardValue. Ideally the Datacard Default property should show something like:
ThisItem.'Project Code'
and DataCardValue control should have a Default property of :
Parent.Default

Is this true in your case?

Thank you Anchov.

Your suggestion was adopted for all the items. However, it only works for free text and choice fields defined from the SharePoint site (see attached). Dates and fields with imported data (from Sharepoint list and Microsoft Excel online) don't show.

Fields from other data sources will need to be mapped separately. It difficult to tell you how to map those fields, without understanding your data structure. Typically you will need to use a Lookup function to find the referenced data fields based on some information stored in your main SharePoint list. For example, based on ID, the default field will look like:
Lookup(OtherDataSource, ID = ThisItem.ID).Title
