Error trying to Save from DetailScreen: An entry is required or has an invalid value...

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I added a checkbox to my DetailScreen, that sets a value in the Form of the EditScreen.

I also added a save button in the DetailScreen, with an SubmitForm(EditForm1) OnSelect.

That way the user can quickly adjust an item as being checked, withou having to navigate further to the EditScreen.

The setting of the value in the Form of the EditScreen from within the DetailScreen works fine.

When I navigate to the EditScreen and directly Save everything works fine.

But Saving directly form the DetailScreen results in an error:

An entry is required or has an invalid value.Please correct and try again

There is no error information where the value is missing or invalid.

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a screenshot about your app's configuration?

How do you set the value in the Form of the EditScreen?

Which type of variable do you set within your Edit form? A global variable or a Context variable?

Further, do you want to update an existing item in your SP list?

I have made a test on my side (set a global variable to store the value would be set within my Edit form), and don't have the issue that you mentioned. Based on the error message that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with the value that you set in the Form of the EditScreen.

Please take a try to initialize a global variable (using Set function) to store the value that you want to set within your Edit form, and then check if the issue is solved.

In addition, please also check if you have provided a valid value for the Required/Mandatory field within your Edit form.

If the issue still exists, please consider take a try to use Patch function to submit your form data instead of SumitForm function. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following Patch formula:

Set the OnSelect property of the "Save" button within DetailScreen to following:

Patch( 'YourSPList', BrowseGallery1.Selected, /* <-- BrowseGallery1 represents the Gallery within your app */ { Column1: DataCardValue1.Text, ... CheckedColumn: DataCardValue4.Text, /* <-- I assume that you set the Value within the DataCardValue4 control */ ... } )

More details about the Patch function, please check the following article:

Thank you so much for assisting!
I only want to update a single field called "MeldingStatus" (a dropdown field from SharePoint list called "Overzicht")
I am using a variable "MeldingStatutPreset" as you mentioned for setting the value. ( attachment CheckedCardValue )
The OnCheck of the checkbox sets the variable value for var "MeldingStatutPreset" and so the "MeldingStatus" field value ( DataCardValue29 )
I am trying to patch that field also in the Onselect of the SaveIcon, but no result. ( Patch attachment).
No errors also.
