Actually, I found out that my On_Submit button function had an error before this issue happened.. It was not showing as an error, though, until I went into the function itself.

I have a similar issue. My SQLServer table has a primary key, and I've been able to write to it and read from it already. But the connection occasionally seems to stop working. The only solution I've found is to remove the connection entirely and then add it back in. It appears to be a bug. One other detail: there is no error message or indicator from PowerApps that the connection stopped working. That's part of the major problem with this. And all connections (Internet, Gateway, etc.) are showing that they work fine still.

Confirmed: I had this same error and it was because I did not correctly configure my SQL table. I had included IDENTITY(1,1), but not PRIMARY KEY.

I recreated my table using this generic structure:

CREATE TABLE Persons ( ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL, FirstName varchar(255), Age int );

Hi @Anonymous,

I just tested the patch() function, it works for creating new record into SQL Server database from my side.

Please take a note that when using the following code:

Patch(DataSource, Defaults(DataSource), {PrimaryKey:Required, OtherFields:UpdateValue})

The Primary Key is a required field (If it has not been set to be auto-generated from the Server side).

Adding the function reference:

Patch function in PowerApps

Regards,

Michael
