form submit not saving sometimes

I have a rather large App and it seems as though sometimes the changes don't save and submit changes. I don't really have trouble with new form submits it's always the edit form. I refresh the dataset after submit and success so it's not like dataset isn't populating it. even backing out of the app and reloading doesn't seem to show the saved the changes to the form. going in to the back end SharePoint list shows it didn't update. It's weird because it only happens sometimes and doesn't give an error so it's quite annoying and hard to trouble shoot.

    Hi I know it has been 4 years but I have encountered this issue. Form was submitted but no input was saved in Sharepoint list. I also can't seem to replicate it, but it happens rarely. Did you ever fix this?

    no that's what I'm saying I set that up already and the form just isn't making it to a failure point. It doesn't seem to make it to the failure attribute of the form.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    in my above post, I mentioned a way to get the success and failure notification but in the same way you can modify or add code for your requirement.

    like in the below reply you need to send mail if the form submission is failed then instead of Notify you to send use the code for send email to the same user.

    Although that didn't fix my current issue, that's good to have anyway. I have it set up to email me with whatever errors are gotten from the offending forms. It doesn't seem to be even making it to that. like maybe it's timing out before it even makes it to that point.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    For this purpose you can do like below.

    Select the Form and Set the OnSuccess Property for the form Like Notify("Data Submitted Successfully", Success);
    So once Data Submitted successfully it will display the success message.
    The same way you can use for OnFailure Property also.
    Notify("Data Submitted Successfully",Error.);

    Then same time you get the Information like your data is submitted or failed.
