I am new to powerapps and have a query. How to add NEW and UPDATE existing customers and it's devices, task details. I am using multiple Dataverse tables for Customer and it's associated devices and tasks associated to those devices. If someone can explain with a sample code it will be really helpful.

For example, I have below tables;

Customer - Master - CustomerID as PK

Devices - Detail - DeviceID as PK and Lookup column as CustomerID

Tasks Table - Detail - TaskID as PK

Task Status - Detail - TaskStatus as PK, Lookup column as DeviceID and TaskID

Hi @rohitsbots ,

You can use Microsoft flow. DataVerse connectors can help you achieve this. You can use the trigger when a record is added, modified or deleted and in next step call Add Row and map to respective child entity record that you want to create. In your case tasks and devices. (refer sample screen shot below)

The same connector also offers you Change Type ->Modified. When an Account is modified get all the child records in List control within flows. Apply to each record the change you want to map if there is any from the parent record.

Is flow the only option ? We are preferring not to use flow instead we are trying to write all the code in the powerapps itself. Like using Patch, Add columns, Filter etc to achieve this. I am looking for a sample example using that.

Hello @rohitsbots,

You can try below code

For Creating new records you can try

Patch(customerTable,Defaults(customerTable),{columnFromCustomerTable: Valueforthistable)

Same way for other table as well,

If you want to Update you can try

Patch( CustomerTable, LookUp(CustomerTable,ID = customerTableGuid), { CustomerTableColumnName: CustomerTableValue } )

Devices - Detail - DeviceID as PK and Lookup column as CustomerID

Patch(Devices, LookUp(Devices,ID = DevicesTableGuid), { DevicesTableColumnName: DevicesTableValue CustomerID = Lookup(customers,ID=CustomersGUID) } )

Task Status - Detail - TaskStatus as PK, Lookup column as DeviceID and TaskID

Patch(TaskStaus, LookUp(TaskStaus,ID = TaskStausTableGuid), { TaskStausTableColumnName: TaskStausTableValue TaskID = Lookup(Tasks,ID=TaskGUID), DeviceID = Lookup(Devices,ID=DeviceID) } )

Please mark as Answer if it is helpful and provide Kudos
