I'm not completely sure what changed in my app but I am getting the following error when I try to submit a form. This form populated by a gallery selection and can be toggled between editable and view mode. I've tried removing the table that powers the gallery and form and readding but that did not seem to fix the issue. Any other ideas?

Hi @futr_vision ,

Have you changed the column names in the background data? This may be the problem.

I didn't change any column names. In this app there is a new form that puts the data into the table and that seems to work fine. It's just this edit form that is now giving me issues.

Note that I am not using a Patch function explicitly in this situation. I am using SubmitForm.

Let me ask this and hopefully I ask this clearly. Originally, I was populating the Default of each control with ThisItem. but switched to use the values in my global variable (selecting a gallery item writes the record to the global variable). Could this be the reason why SubmitForm is failing? Do I need to use a patch function to write the record?

@futr_vision - you are running the risk of over engineering your app for no reason and getting into errors.

As mentioned in the other post, creating a Variable from a Gallery selection, and then associating that variable to the Item property of an Edit Form control, or associating the Item property with "Gallery1.Selected", will return the same result (a record will be returned).

Based on this understanding, there is no need to populate the Default control with "Your Variable.'Your Field".

If you must use a Variable, ensure the Item property is set to your Variable, ensure the Default property for each control is "Parent.Default" and the Default Property for each DataCard should be 'ThisItem.'Your Field'.
