App not displaying updated data

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have two canvas apps that use the same SharePoint list as their data source.

Within this list I removed a contact name. In one canvas app, this has updated and the name is no longer there. However in the other one, the name is still visible. I've refreshed the data source and added a Refresh function to the OnVisible of the screen, but it still doesn't update. Am I missing something?

The data is in a form for the one which isn't updating, whereas the one which updates is in a gallery.

Based on the problem description provided and my understanding, the following may help you to trouble shoot the issue:

In your Canvas app with the form, did you unlock the data card related to Contact Name field? Then, if your SharePoint list does not have the corresponding field, then the data card will show up an error. The card won't be deleted automatically.

You need to manually delete the card and publish the app. If you do not delete the card, in the design mode of the form, you will see an error in the App Checker.

Please check above details and post your questions here.

Thanks @rsaikrishna for your response. My data card wasn't locked.
I've worked out what the problem was. Although the form had the SharePoint list which I updated as its data source, the DefaultSelectedItems for the datacardvalue was set to filter another SharePoint list which also has this field. Once I updated the contact name field in the 2nd list, the changes updated. I didn't build the app or put together the lists so wasn't aware of this!
Thanks for your help though.
