I have a list which consist over 6000 records. App is simple. Records are added and then modified on daily bases. Till now i was using simple SubmitForm. but now on the main screen we need to display all 6k records and not just 2000 which is current limit. I can do that using various methods available here. For Ex. Using collection on OnStart to fetch all the records.

My problem is:

My records are added and modified on daily bases. How will it work? Let's say on the main gallery i give data source as collection to shjow all 6k record. When user clicks that records and edit form will open where user will modify the record. And save that to Sharepoint. But, if i use collection how will that work.

Hi @zmansuri ,'

You need to Patch to the Collection record as well as the List. You can use SubmitForm() for the List update, but will need to Patch to the Collection.

I load all items from the list to collection. Then give this collection as datasource to the below gallery. When user selects the right arrow. It will store the current record in a variable. and navigate to the screen where form is:

Form has my SharePoint List as data source. On the save button i have written:

SubmitForm(Form3);
Patch(MainCol2,varItem,Form3.LastSubmit);

I tested 2-3 scenario. it is working. Is it the correct way to do this?

@zmansuri ,

The collection would need to have all the fields in the list for this to work.

You are also better putting this on the OnSuccess of the form. You could try this

Patch( MainCol2, {ID:Self.LastSubmit.ID}, Form3.Updates )
