Looking for assistance on saving multiple records with two different controls

Posted on by jpwintz

I am just starting out with PowerApps (i.e., about 2 weeks) and am trying to do a proof of concept where I can select a single value from a list and multiple values from a list, gallery, combobox, etc. and save multiple records (i.e., not concatenate) to the dataverse table. I have started looking at PowerApps 911 tutorials and have started understanding the collection and patch features. So far I am able to patch a single selection from both controls but not a single selection from one and multiple from the other as intended.

This YouTube video captures what I am trying to do, but I have not figured out where he is starting from in order to execute what he is demonstrating: PowerApps use Collect to submit multiple rows of data to your data source - YouTube

Thanks for any help you can provide on getting me started!

Hello @jpwintz!

I hope you found a solution to your issue. If you haven't, I would check this article out.

You are very close. Patching a collection is what you want to research how to do. I've used ForAll() to patch multiple items to SPO at once along with an error formula to know everything worked out well. Hope this works! Happy Solutioning!

You may want to move this post to Building Power Apps to get more visibility as it doesn't seem to be specific to the federal government.
