hai guys, i just want to ask how do i submit a form and at the same time, i want to patch submission date with Now() function.

Cause as i know that patch will update the data, but not sure about when submitting a form

my code:

If(
Form1.Valid,

// Submit the form, clear attachments, reset the form, and open a new form
Set(varSuccessPopup, true);
SubmitForm(Form1);
Clear(colFilteredAttachments);
ResetForm(Form1);
NewForm(Form1);

,
Set(varInvalidSubmit,true);

);

where can i insert patch function here?

Hi @nayem,

Do you want to update the last submit record?

If so, you could add Patch() just behind the SubmitForm():

If( Form1.Valid, // Submit the form, clear attachments, reset the form, and open a new form Set(varSuccessPopup, true); SubmitForm(Form1); Patch(list,Form1.LastSubmit,{Date:Now()});//Here add the Patch() Clear(colFilteredAttachments); ResetForm(Form1); NewForm(Form1); , Set(varInvalidSubmit,true); );

Hi,

Since you are NOT running things concurrently, you can place your Patch, right under your SubmitForm(Form1) expression.
Set(varSuccessPopup, true); SubmitForm(Form1); Patch(goes here) Clear(colFilteredAttachments); ResetForm(Form1); NewForm(Form1);

Depending on what data you need, if you want data from the Form after submission, you can use Form1.LastSubmit

Cheers
