PowerApp not saving

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8
Hello,
 
I am having an issue in PowerApps. When I try and save an application the app does not save. I do not receive an error, however the save icon just keeps spinning. I have tried saving other apps in the same environment, clearing cache, and trying from a different browser.
 
 
Has anyone encountered this issue?

    Can you show the code being executed when you are trying to save.

    Hi ,
     
    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Power Platform Community.
     
    In addition, that's the "Save Spiral of Doom" issue in PowerApps, where the save icon keeps spinning indefinitely without completing the save process.
     
    Here are some potential solutions:
     
    Troubleshooting Steps
    -Refresh PowerApps Studio
    If the connection to the server is lost, refreshing the studio immediately might prevent data loss.
    -Check for Server Issues
    Sometimes, this happens due to Microsoft service disruptions. You can check the Power Platform -Service Status to see if there are ongoing issues.
    -Clear Cache & Cookies
    Since you've already tried clearing the cache, ensure you're also clearing cookies and restarting the browser.
    -Try a Different Network
    If possible, switch to a different Wi-Fi or mobile network to rule out connectivity issues.
    -Test in a Different Environment
    If other apps in the same environment are saving correctly, try duplicating the app and saving it in a different environment.
    -Check for Large Data Operations
    If your app is handling large datasets, it might be causing delays. Try reducing the amount of data being processed during save.
    -Inspect the Code Executing on Save
    If there's custom logic running when you save, check for errors in the OnSave or SubmitForm functions.
    -Use a Loading Spinner Workaround
    If the issue persists, consider implementing a custom loading spinner that disappears after a set timeout.
     
    If none of these solutions work, you might want to contact Microsoft Support.
     
    Let me know if you need help testing any of these steps! 
     
    Happy to help

    This happens when you loose internet connection at some point. Another cause is when powerapps has been opened for too long.
     
    All you need to do is to start a new session.
     
    Ensure you have the autosave feature turned on so if this happens again, you have your most recent changes available
