Hi All,

 

I am working on Power Apps form which is pretty long. I have decided to split into wizard kind of deign so users does not get overwhelmed.

 

  1. Sample of Form 
    01 Power Apps Canvas.jpg
    Users can each screen such as Basic, Vendor, Customers etc. need to submit (Patch) in  specific tables in Dataverse.  

  2. Challenge
    The main table (Request) for the form has many required fields and many lookups from supporting tables.

    02 Table has many loopup with required fields.jpg

    I can’t patch for each screen (Basic, Vendor, Customer screens etc) as there are required fields.

    In some screens I am using Forms controls (Basic, Customers) and other screens are Gallery Controls (Vendor, Cost) to meet clients requirements directly connected to data source Dataverse table.

    Question: As it data source requirements for data consistency for required fields, anyway that I can partial patch for Basic, Vendors, Customer screens.

    OR

    some other way that I can patch each screen.

    @aaroh_bits I think you need to modify the schema, you should keep all fields optional in the backend and handle the field validations like required on the form/UI, this will allow you to patch as required.
