Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi all,

I am new to PowerApps and am still learning here. I have a big table called Members with about 44 columns and so I split up the fields across five screens and five forms.

When submitting the data, I am getting the runtime error "Network error when using Patch function: Value must be a data entity record. " on the SaveBtn control and I don't know what to change.

I am assuming that in my one of my forms, there are two fields in there that are LookUp Columns from another table called Organization which I am trying to write into Members table (btw I've already linked these two tables - Member and Organization). This could be what's causing the error but I am not sure, I've looked everywhere for a clarity on the issue but I have hit a wall. Please help.

This is my patch function

Patch(

Members,Defaults(Members),

personalDataForm.Updates,

spouseDataForm.Updates,

employmentDataForm.Updates,

premiumDataForm.Updates,

paymentDataForm.Updates

);

If(

IsEmpty(Errors(Members)),

Notify(

"Record Saved Successfully",

NotificationType.Success

Navigate(PersonalDetails),

Notify(First(Errors(NiuMembers)).Message),

NotificationType.Error

)
