Data on PowerApps side not updating when I edit sharepoint list through sharepoint site

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi Everyone,

Problem:There are multiple users for my powerapp. My problem is that if some one has updated the data in sharepoint list using powerapps(ex : submitting or editing a form), the changes made to sharepoint are visible only to that particular user who has updated the data.that means if x has updated the data,the x updates can only seen by him not others until the powerapp is restarted.If Y has restarted the power app then Y is able to see the changes of X.

I have also checked this way ,even this is not working,
When I update the fields in sharepoint list through sharepoint site directly without using power apps,those changes are not being updated in power apps if we use the method Refresh(listname)..If I restart the powerApp ,I'm able to see the updated data.

Summary : I'm able to do changes to sharepoint list using powerapps but vice versa is not working i.e when i change sharepoint list manually, those changes are not reflecting in powerapps until I restart the app.(I have used Refresh("list_name") but its not working).

Thanks

Few clarification.
Where are you displaying the the record that you are not seeing, is it in a Gallery. Can you show a screenshot of that Gallery Item.

Also it seems there's a formula in OnStart of the App or Onvisible of the screen that's prevent updated data from showing.

This is my screenshot of gallery and I don't have any formulae to restrict the visibility.There is only one line in onvisible i.e "UpdateContext({RequestsButton:true})".

The formula on the Items property of the Gallery mean you will only see Pending Approvals. You won't see acknowledge pending.

If you intend seeing that too then,
Insert a button and Onselect put:
UpdateContext({RequestsButton:false})

If you want to see all items, then let me know to change the structure

Yeah,I want to see pending approvals only,my problem is if an item added by other user with status "pending approval",I'm unable to see it in the gallery until i restart the app.I'm unable to see the changes even if I go back and come to the screen again.

In that case change the formula to:
Filter(Datasource,Status="Pending Approval")

Or
Filter(Datasource,Status.Value="Pending Approval")

If you confirm that the Gallery items is connected to the Sharepointlist and not a collection OnStart, try Remove the connection and reconnect again.

Can you elaborate what you are saying about connections.Here I have connected to sharepoint list and mentioned that connected list in the place of datasource.

I suggested that if you tried the formula I gave and Still nothing happens. Remove the Table from Powerapps and reconnect it again as if it is the first time you are connecting a Table.
