Hi @nayem ,

Is your patch function not working?
What does the "field that I customize outside form field" mean?

Best regards,
Rimmon Li

Hi @nayem you can validate on inputs that our outside of your form! you would just use the control name and then .text or .selected items or whatever the datatype of the control is.
For example I have a form to submit and I'm validation on a text input that is outside of the form control:
I cannot see why this wouldn't work for you!

the patch function is working, the field that i put that is not form field, i want to patch it with the column in my datasource, but it failed..

"field that I customize outside form field" means field that is not generated from the form field.

Hi @nayem what is the datatype of the field in your list that you are trying to patch? as I can use the text input to patch my SP list no problems:

I have also tried using From.LastSubmit this isn't casing me any issues:

@nayem I think the issue might be with the 'form1.lastsubmit' in your patch formula. Since you didn't include this field when you submitted the form earlier, you can't find it in the 'form1.lastsubmit' later on. You probably need to make a separate patch formula for this field.
try

Patch('ChangeRequestList',Defaults('ChangeRequestList'),{Unit:TextinputUserName_4.Text})

after your first patch formula
