After getting my Entity to save (i put all my default values back in the text fields but left out the " characters), I created an app based on the entity.

After filling out the EditForm, i get an helpful error (see Subject).

I wish i could be more specific, but then it wouldn't be an unknown error.

Am I just out of luck? Or do I have to start over with a new form checking one field at a time and adding fields until the form that fails?

It appears the problem was with those pesky default text values.

Here's what I did to resolve the unknown error:
I saved and closed the app
Checked the Entity in CDS (it was saved)
Reopned the new app that threw the unknown exception earlier
Refreshed the Data Source in the app
Started the app
Noticed the default values this time (Clue: if you don't see default values, don't bother filling the form, it will probably fail)
Saved the EditForm without adding any non-default values
Edited the form again adding a few new values and saving the edit
Continued until the form was completely filled out
No more problems

I'm getting a similar error, I've created an app that has excel data source and it needs to write back to the xlsx. I've filled out the save button as such. However, when I submit the form i get unknown error occurred. Please help me with this issue.

UpdateContext({NewSurvey:Patch(PoaResponses,Defaults(PoaResponses),{ProgramId:Text(CountRows(PoaResponses)+1),Country:Dropdown3.Selected.Country,GlobalTeams:Dropdown4.Selected.GlobalTeams,ProgramArea:Dropdown1.Selected.OptionText,Objective:TextInput1,Title:TextInput9,Intervention:TextInput2,KeyIndicators:TextInput8,Name:TextBox12,Target:TextInput4,StartDate:DatePicker1,EndDate:DatePicker2,Protocol:Radio3,Documentation:ListBox5,Type:Radio4,Cost:Radio2,FundingProgram:Radio5})});Navigate(Screen1,ScreenTransition.Fade)
