The context variable types are incompatible with the types of value in other places in your app

Since a few months I ALWAYS encounter this error when I just change the Filter or Sorting in my Gallery Items.

Most of the apps have a gallery with Items SharePointList, and something like this
Set(selRecord, ThisItem); Navigate(screen2) on OnSelect.
Screen2 will simply displays the record selRecord in more detail. eg: selRecord.Title

When I now want to add a filter or Sort the Datasource by changing the Item property to
Filter(SharePointList, Status.Value = "Active"), any change to the Item property (adding a new Filter conditions, changing Sorting, ... ) results in that error. Always. It's driving me nuts. Just reloading the app in the studio makes the error go away, but it's very annoying.
The context variable types are incompatible with the types of value in other places in your app.

Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks
Bart

Hi @BClouded ,

Seems a bit strange, but it you put selRecord in a Search and see every place it is being used, you might find where it is being set as some other structure.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that is not case. It's not being set anywhere else.
Unless in some Patch functions, I often use the set function directly in combination of a Patch. So the variable is being overwritten with the new values.
Set(selRecord, Patch(SharePointList, selRecord, {Title: "XXX"}))

So I am the only one who encounters this issue, I thought it must be a bug in the latest studio version or so?
I have this on multiple computers, in multiple tenants.

You can not reproduce this?

@BClouded ,

I believe your issue is here

Set(selRecord, Patch(SharePointList, selRecord, {Title: "XXX"}))

and here

Set(selRecord, ThisItem);

the first contains only one field Title and the second the entire record (so the structures are different)
