Hi, i've got 8 buttons on my first page, one for each work area.. Each area has it's own SharePoint list

On select they for example Set(AreaSPList, 'SP list > Area1'); Then Area2, Area 3 etc...

I'm then using the AreaSPList as my data source in various forms and so on.

Where i'm tripping up is updating the actual SP list > Area1'. It updates fine if i set item via a gallery LookUp(AreaSPList,ID=SelectedItemID) but the form isn't showing the new data.. mousing over the AreaSPList shows the last modified is old data. How can i refresh AreaSPList?

Re: Can i refresh a variable as a data source?

Hi @The_blue :

Could you please tell me:

Are you talking about an Canvas App?If so,posting you question to the Power Apps Forum is a much more better choice.(This is Power Automate Forum)

What is the meaning of "isn't showing the new data"?Could you please show me some screenshots?

Could you please show me the detailed settings of your Form?

If the form does not reset after submitting the form, then I suggest you reset the form. ResetForm()

Best Regards,

Bof
