Get ID from SQL to Powerapps - II

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by PierreGiusti 51

Hi, PowerApps have a function to get ID from a register added in SQL?

 

Situation:

 

In a EditScreen, I click on SubmitForm(EditForm_X) to add data, at this moment SQL database generate a ID to this register.

 

After the ID was generate, I need to stay in EditScreen and know what was the ID who database assigned, to use it in another Patch command.

 

How can I do that?

 

Thanks.

 

Pierre

    Hi @PierreGiusti,

     

    If you mean the Primary ID auto-generated by SQL Server table, once the form control submit the record successfully, we could take use of the form.LastSubmit property to get the ID generated.

    For example, if the ID is named ID in SQL Server table, then the proper way to get its value is:

    Editform1.LastSubmit.ID

    "

    LastSubmit – The last successfully submitted record, including any server generated fields.

    "

    Reference: Editform control in PowerApps

     

    Regards,

    Michael

    Hi, I inserted UpdateContext({VarLastID: EditFormCalendInsert.LastSubmit.IDCalendario}) function in propriety “OnSuccess” at EditForm1 and PA returns the ID correctly.


    My doubt is if exist the possibility of return de wrong ID if some situation occurs, like simultaneous insertion, trouble with communication, etc…


    Thanks.

    Hi Pierre.

     

    Keep in mind that if you use patch combined with the default function, patch will return certain attributes form the newly created record \ row, which you can then use to get the id.

     

    Set(varnametostoreID, Patch(datasource,Defaults(datasource),
    {fieldname:"FieldValue"}).ID)
