Power Apps Studio vs Published App Discrepancies

Posted on by lorumIpsum2024

Hello. I am looking for some advice and help. Currently I am experiencing differences in the way my canvas app acts in the Power Apps Studio and the Published app version. This app is utilizing Offline Mode with a custom Offline profile. The app has a form that allows users to Add and update notes that they took during their shift. The form has a items property of:

When users toggle the date picker or the combobox, the form should display the notes for the shift and day that they picked. This works perfect in the Power Apps Studio and the notes show up in the different fields of the form. When I publish the app and use it on an iPad, the notes are not populating in the fields of the form. My offline profile is set to download all of the rows from this table so I don't think that is the problem. Has anybody seen or dealt with this problem? It's frustrating as the app works as intended in the Power Apps Studio environment but once it is published, the app no longer works as intended.

Thanks for the help.

What do you mean by ...

My offline profile is set to download all of the rows from this table ...

Are you creating a collection? What is the Data Row limit set for your app? How many rows in your table/data source? ClearCollect() (if this is what you are using?) will only return the first 2000 records - depending on how you structure your call.

@EddieE When you set up your app to be Offline capable, you create an Offline profile that determines what tables and rows are downloaded when the app first starts. After downloading the tables and rows, you use the downloaded tables as your data sources. For my NotesList table, I have it set up in Dataverse to be able to be taken offline and my offline profile is set up to download all rows for this table. Using Monitor, I can see that all of the rows are downloaded during the OnStart of the app, but the form is populating with Data when I toggle to a Date and Shift that have notes associated with them. I'm not using a collection. I am not exceeding the row limit because there are only 25 rows in the table at the moment.

Ah ok, I understand now. I haven't used this feature so not entirely sure what maybe causing the issue. you could try adding a label to the form screen with this

"Number of NotesList records: " & CountRows(NotesList)

You could use this to check that the app is collecting the data correctly. You could also try adding a second label with this

"This form has a record: " & !IsBlank( -- add your LookUp code here -- )

If neither of these show any issues, then you could try/look at:

- are you using the Modern Form experience? If so, try a Classic form

- are you using any Containers that maybe causing issues?

- is your form in Edit mode? Has it been explicitly set to Edit mode eg it cannot be in New mode

Try some of these and see how you get on
