Patch is creating a new record instead of updating the current one

Posted on by 244

I'm trying to have a button click on a form patch a status and date of application to a SharePoint record from that SharePoint record's custom Power Apps form.  

I'm using the format below which worked when I only had it applying the date (previously it did not attempt to patch the status value).

 

Set(
 varPreviousStatus,
 ThisItem.Status
);
Set(
 varStatus,
 "Assigned"
);
Set(
 varAssignedDate,
 Today()
);
Patch(
 'LIST NAME',
 LookUp(
 'LIST NAME',
 ID = ThisItem.ID,
 {
 'Assigned Date': varAssignedDate,
 Status: varStatus
 }
 )
);

 

Now that I'm attempting to patch both the status value and the date it was set, a new record is created with those values instead of updating.

The Status field is single line of text. The date field is a date field. 

 

I don't understand how it is creating a new record when I am clearly indicating the filter for the current item's ID. This is in edit mode. The Status update buttons aren't available for New items. 

 

Is there something I am missing in the code?

    Hei @CCJones ,

     

    Your code looks, but you need to move a parenthesis:

     

    Patch(
     'LIST NAME',
     LookUp(
     'LIST NAME',
     ID = ThisItem.ID
     ),
     {
     'Assigned Date': varAssignedDate,
     Status: varStatus
     }
    );

    Thanks so much! It's almost always something simple like this!
