Hi,
I am writing a PowerApp for our QC people to report quality issues. I created a "List" in SharePoint to act as the database. One of the columns was called "Press" and was a text field. This worked perfectly. I later decided to change this field to a choice. When I did, then refreshed the data source in PowerApps, it still though the field was a text field. I then tried changing the name of the column to "WorkCell" in the hopes that power app would see it as a new column. When I refreshed the database in PowerApps, it still showed "Press" but is now showed it as a choice instead of a text field. I then created a new column called "Cell" and set it up as a choice and deleted the "WorkCell" column. I then replaced the datacard in my form and it seems to work but when the form is submitted, I have some code to email the data but PowerApps says that "Cell" is not valid (see attached). This code also fails. It seems that PowerApps is one update behind what I am doing with the list even though I've refreshed a bunch of times.
Two suggestions for you:
Thanks, Your first suggestion seems to have gotten the PowerApps back in sync with the list. Problem solved!
