Stored form updates inside a variable, however I cannot view it

Posted on by KenSato

I tried storing the records obtained using "Form.Updates" into a variable called "myVar". It seemed to work, however it is not displaying when I go to view it. Why does this happen? Is there any way to view the contents of the variable.

Here, on the sidebar, it shows the contents of the variable, however it is not displaying the records on the right hand side.

Hello KenSato,

I would need more information about your setup to be sure, but maybe you just need to select a property by the dot notation like myVar.Title to retrive the value "MyTitle", or myVar.Comments and so on.

Can you provide more context? I replicated what you have on my end and had no issue seeing the record on the right-hand side:

It could be a simple graphical bug - have you tried closing out and re-opening your app? Another thing that would be helpful to see is how you're capturing the record itself.

The PowerApps view can sometimes not work properly, but that doesn't mean the variable is empty.

Try temporarely adding a label in your app and populate the "Text" property with your variable's field to read it.
