I'm having problems using the Patch property on a "Modern Controls" button which I was hoping to update a Sharepoint List. If I use same process on the regular old style buttons, it does work. I was wondering if there was something I meant to be doing but missing? Here is a couple of screenshots as it will probably be able to explain it better than I could

Error I'm getting

Modern Controls

Regular old style

Any ideas? I've only made a few very simple apps before so perhaps I'm just not experience enough and totally overlooked a simple fix.

Timl, that worked! Amazing, thanks for the support, I really appreciated it. I’ve watched a few videos on Modern Controls and they said it might not be ready for production so thought there might be something missing.

Hi @f2

With modern controls, you would retrieve the textbox contents via the Value property rather than the Text property (eg txtFirstname.Value).
That would explain the error messages that you're seeing here.
