Changing properties on right hand side not acknowledging modifications

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 638

Started experiencing this today, while building an app when changing any details on the properties screen on the right hand side of the editor it won't change the values and just revert to what was there before. It's doing this independently of the property I'm trying to change, whether it is X and Y values or Height or Width of the Text itself, or even the visibility toggle button, it just won't take it. I always need to use the top of the page formula Bar.

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this?

    Hi @jbrit2020 ,

    Does this issue happen on all controls or just this button? 

    Does this issue happen on other apps or just this app?

    For narrowing down your issue, I would suggest you try below:

    1. Close and reopen Studio in the browser, check if issue remains(you can also try to clean browser cache).

    2. Re-add a new button, check if issue remains.

    3. Create a new app, add some controls for test, check if issue remains.

    Best regards,

    Allen

    @v-albai-msft Hi, it was happening on all controls, I found out what the issue was, I have a timer refreshing the database connection every 2 seconds, and it seems that even on edit mode it is still running and therefore refreshing constantly while I perform changes. From the moment I turned it off, it started working again.

     

    It shouldn't be refreshing unless I press play I would have guessed right?

    Hi @jbrit2020 ,

    Not sure if this is the root cause, but it did work for you now. 

    Actually, In Power Apps Studio, timers run only in Preview mode. I think this issue is more related to one of your custom configurations. Maybe you need to dig more.
