Param() not always capturing the variables from the URL the first time.

Posted on by 2

I'm trying to send variables across one canvas app to another via the URL and then using the Param() function to capture the variable. However, sometimes the first time when I'm navigating from one app to the other, the Param() function doesn't capture the variable. I have tried to put the param function on OnStart, OnVisble, and on a label of the first page shown; with all of these, I have gotten the same issue.

 

I found the following post on this forum: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Param-values-not-reading-on-first-load/m-p/1875083#M472211 and I tried to set skipmetadata to true. However, this didn't solve the issue either. 

 

Does anyone know what the problem could be that the param() doesn't capture when navigating from one app to another, sometimes the first time I'm navigating between the apps?
