Hello PowerApps peeps out there!

I have 3 canvas apps based on SharePoint lists with all the default screens.

In all 3 apps a issue started to occur - the value of a people column is not updating on the details screen after you open up more then one item in a row.

Steps:

Open up Canavs app
Click on arrow icon for a specific item to navigate to details screen to view details of item
1. Value of person column is set to value of selected item
Click on arrow in header to navigate back to Browsescreen.
Click on arrow icon for another item to navigate to details screen to view details of item
1. Values of all fields except person column are set to value of selected item
2. Value of person column is still showing the value of the previous selected item

Troubleshooting steps already taken:

Refresh data in browse screen => person column still not updated
Refresh browser screen => person column value on details screen will show the value of the selected item, but gets stuck again on this value.
Behaviour does not occur in preview mode of app from within PowerApps designer.
Use Reset() by navigating away from screen => person column still not updated.

Workaround that works:

Editing the datacard and replace the combo box for a text label and fill it with the displayname of the selected person.

Anyone else getting the same behaviour?

Is this a known issue/bug?

Any other ideas of workarounds?

Hi,

Could you please provide from your Details screen the 'Default' for that card and the 'Items' for the People Dropdown,
If you have customized these in any way it may no longer be updating.

I created a Canvas App from data using just a Title and a People column and did not experience the same so I think it may be one of those two properties that is not set correctly,

Cheers,
ManCat

The issue was occuring with locked data cards - so no update for the 'Default' or 'Items' property since you need to unlock the data card to be able to update these fields.
There are quite a view columns in the lists and on the forms. I was thinking along the lines of maybe a performance issue of some sort.

I implemented the work around I mentioned in my original post, so I do not see the issue at the moment. If there have been updates around similar issues I can have a look and change the forms back to their original state.
