Bad data source error in PowerApp

I have two PowerApps (one is a SharePoint list integrated app, one is a standalone canvas app). Both submit to the same SharePoint list, which affected Powerapp users have edit access to. Although I can submit forms using either app with no errors (I am the author), and I have shared the apps with users, and they have edit permissions on the SharePoint list in question, the users are able to run the app, and fill out information, but when the tap Submit (to submit the form), they get a bad data source error, and the form will not submit. The shared users are in my organization, have the proper Microsoft credentials, and I have shared the app with them. Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi @Runner55552 ,

For custom form in SharePoint, please try to change back to the default standard SharePoint form, and let the users try to add new items again. Just to confirm if the issue is related to PowerApps.

For the standalone app, please let the users to edit the SharePoint list items directly from SharePoint site and check if the issue is related to the permission.

Mona

It turns out that when I copied/cloned the PowerApp and deployed it on a different SharePoint list, even though I changed all the references, it seems that some data cards retained the old information in their memory, and were causing the submission error. I deleted the data cards in question, and re-inserted them by "adding a field." That removed the errors.
