I can't access to global record variables after latest update

Posted on by jazminsoledad

My application has been working ok until the latest update. I have issues accessing the content inside a global record variable.

I am sending an ID to a "details screen" using Navigate. Inside the screen, based on the received Id, I search for a specific record in a list and show the result in different text boxes.

Since the latest update, all the textboxes have been empty. I can see that the record has been correctly loaded on the variable:

But when I try to access the content, I get blank:

Why is it not working any more? What should I do to access the record content?

Thanks,

How are you setting varItem?

Hi,
varItem is loaded after searching for a record inside a SharePoint list:
Set(varItem, First(Filter('list',ID=varID)));

The variable is loaded; I can see it on the variables' menu. The issue is that something changed in Power Apps between the moment the app was published( beginning of March) and today. I published a new version of the app today, changing only an image and the Power Apps version was updated. Writing varItem.ID seems to don't work anymore.

Is there a new syntaxis to access a record?

Thanks!

No, the method is the same, just tested it again to confirm no changes:

Is there anywhere else you set varItem like using UpdateContext?

It would be worth running a Monitor session to see what happens when the label tries to load the ID from the record

You should also check your varID variable. If that is not the correct value then the lookup may find nothing and return blank like is happening. Is the variable varID holding the expected value to start with?
