Hi,
Does managed to successfully write data to dataverse? Dataverse table is set to support offline - the same with Canva app.
Everything set as per Microsoft Doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/mobile/setup-mobile-offline-classic
Use case is very simple, I have to capture bunch of attributes from users who can type information into a form and submit so that all information provide can be happily updated in dataverce once internet is available.
One can think that submitting data to dataverse in offline mode is exactly why Microsoft have added this functionality. Still, today I got some feedback from MS team explaining that any offline use cases should rather be supported via collections and SaveData & LoadData combinations as per old article from 2021: https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-apps-offline-mode-a-step-by-step-tutorial/
Does anyone managed to create or update in dataverse using this new features without saving collected data to local file and than loading that again once offline?
My assumption is that Patch or SubmitForm should work well in app set to work in offline - am I wrong?
The answer is that Model-Drive and Canvas apps, support offline.
However there are many limitations to what you can do and to what tables. So no not all tables have the same capabilities (For Patching etc), and especially custom tables.

There isn't enough information to answer for your tables, but the above link should help.
Normally however, depending on what you are doing, Mobile Profile and Syncing is different than SaveData/LoadData scenarios with Collections, so it depends on what you need to do to make it work properly.
If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others
Cheers
Thank You
