Issues on retrieving data from a Collection into an Entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm currently using the Collect() func to (on a click of a button), collect data from a gallery and send that data to my Entity using:

Collect(CantinaBackEnds, {Data: Date_1.Text, Prato: Dish_1.Text, DiaDaSemana: DayOfTheWeek.Text})

The app is running fine, with no errors. However my Entity (in blue) is empty of data, even though my Collection has data.

All the fields in my collection (in orange), match perfectly the ones created on the entity, therefore this should be working.

Could some one share some ideas?

    Thanks for the answer. I did this:

    Patch(CantinaBackEnds, Defaults(CantinaBackEnds), {Name: "Tiago", Data: Date_1.Text, Prato: Dish_1.Text, DiaDaSemana: DayOfTheWeek.Text});

    Working perfectly!!!
