Patch/Gallery Question

The information below is a pic of a gallery that is based on a collection "Filter(colSFDetail,Title = Gallery1.Selected.Title). The collection is obtained with 'ClearCollect(colSFDetail,ShortFormDetail)' and is run when the screen opens. I have a New Record button that should perform Patch(ShortFormDetail,Defaults(ShortFormDetail),{SFDtlTitle: DataCardValue232.Text,SFCraft: " "}). The patch appears to work with a new record created in 'ShortFormDetail'; however, it does not appear in the collection. I have backed out of the screen and then reselected but the record is still not displayed. Any suggestions?

Try this for your patch button

IfError( Patch( ShortFormDetail, Defaults(ShortFormDetail), {SFDtlTitle: DataCardValue232.Text,SFCraft: " "} ), Notify("Please Try Again",NotificationType.Error), ClearCollect(colSFDetail,ShortFormDetail) )

@TheRobRush Thanks for the response. The patch continues to work by adding a record to the ShortFromDetail list; but still does not display in the collection/gallery. I also noted that the gallery does NOT refresh when a new primary record is added.

can you open

colSFDetail

after the patch and verify it collected the new data that the IfError should have directed it to? If not maybe add a Refresh(ShortFormDetail); right before the clearcollect

@TheRobRush That helped. Based on your comment, I did find an error in the filter. Now, the gallery does show the appropriate records; however, when I create a New Record the gallery displays incorrect information. This is in the New Form action...
ResetForm(frmShortFormMain);NewForm(frmShortFormMain);Clear(colSFDetail);Navigate(scrShortFormEntry,ScreenTransition.UnCover)

Refresh(ShortFormDetail); ClearCollect(colSFDetail,ShortFormDetail)

Is the new items for sure being created, and is this the same gallery that displays the collection colSFDetail? Or is it a gallery that only displays the specific record just created, and if so what does it's items property look like

Yes, the new item is being created. When "ResetForm(frmShortFormMain);NewForm(frmShortFormMain);Clear(colSFDetail);Navigate(scrShortFormEntry,ScreenTransition.UnCover)" is selected a blank main form opens but the gallery displays data from the first record in ShortFormDetail. When I save the new record, exit the screen and return, the gallery is accurate with no records (as expected).
I do have Set(varDtlEdit,!varDtlEdit) in Edit Detail View button. Could this be a part of the issue?

if gallery displaying collection should be empty after new submission maybe just clear that collection in the onsuccess of the form so it is also blank when you finish the entry? would that work?
