User says data was copied from one item to another

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I recently took over the development role for a Power App that the users say has a lot of bugs. They are saying that they were going back and forth between two items/records and the system copied all the information from one item to another. We have the app linked to a Sharepoint List, so I was able to look at the history and confirm that the data for that item/record was all changed at the same time.

 

When I try searching for issues related to this, all the results are instructions on how to intentionally copy information instead of people running into an issue related to it.

 

Has anyone run into similar issues? Since there are a lot of fields in the form, I don't think the user would have accidentally copied it. I don't think there's anything in the system that's copying information automatically.

    Hi Geoffc,


    It would be easier to debug if you could  share some codes related to item update function or more. Can you reproduce the issue?


    Generally, this could be a case of variable mis-assignment error. Share more for further troubleshooting.

    Thanks for the fast reply. I'm pretty new to Power Apps and didn't realize it was this detailed with the customization.

     

    The users navigate to the items using a gallery. When they open the item, it's in read only mode until they click and 'edit' button that has this in the On Select:

    Set(Inputformchange,0);
    Set(Sortformchange,0);
    Set(Inventoryandfunctionalformchange,0);
    Set(Ownerdispchange,0);
    Set(Reworkchange,0);
    Set(Returnchange,0);
    Set(Devchange,0);
    Set(Scrapchange,0);
    Set(Closurechange,0);
    Set(Commentschange,0);
    Set(Attachmentschange,0);
    EditForm(InputForm_1);
    EditForm('Inventory and Functional Review');
    EditForm(OwnerDisposition_1);
    EditForm(sortForm_1);
    EditForm(Rework_1);
    EditForm(Return_1);
    EditForm(Deviation_1);
    EditForm(Scrap_1);
    EditForm('Closed Status_1');
    EditForm(Comments_1);
    EditForm(Attachments_1);

     

    After making changes, they click a save button which has this in the On Select:

    SubmitForm(Comments_1);
    Patch(
    'Nonconforming Product Database Smyrna',
    {'Ticket #':Comments_1.LastSubmit.'Ticket #'},
    InputForm_1.Updates,
    'Inventory and Functional Review'.Updates,
    OwnerDisposition_1.Updates,
    sortForm_1.Updates,
    Rework_1.Updates,
    Return_1.Updates,
    InputForm_1.Updates,
    Deviation_1.Updates,
    InputForm_1.Updates,
    Scrap_1.Updates,
    'Closed Status_1'.Updates,
    Attachments_1.Updates
    );
    Icon.Reload;
    ViewForm(InputForm_1);
    ViewForm('Inventory and Functional Review');
    ViewForm(OwnerDisposition_1);
    ViewForm(sortForm_1);
    ViewForm(Rework_1);
    ViewForm(Return_1);
    ViewForm(Deviation_1);
    ViewForm(Scrap_1);
    ViewForm('Closed Status_1');
    ViewForm(Comments_1);

     

    To return to the gallery, they click a button called 'back' which has this in the On Select:

    Navigate('Tag List V2.0 Beck Arnley');ViewForm(sortForm_1);ViewForm(Rework_1);ViewForm(Return_1);ViewForm(Deviation_1);ViewForm(Scrap_1);ViewForm(OwnerDisposition_1);ViewForm('Closed Status_1');ViewForm(InputForm_1);ViewForm('Inventory and Functional Review');
