Hi,

Due to some dependecies

I am inserting one item into field through patch function and remaining all I am submitting using form values.

But I am keeping getting Application name field is missing.

SubmitForm(Form1_2);
Patch(CreateNewRequest,Defaults(CreateNewRequest),{'Application_x0020_Name':DataCardValue1_1.Text,PermissionLists: Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, ID , ",")});

Let me know if I am making any mistake.

Regards,

Sudheer

Hi Sudheer,

The issue you're facing likely comes from how SubmitForm() and Patch() are working separately.

When you use SubmitForm(Form1_2), it attempts to submit all fields bound to that form. However, when you follow it immediately with a Patch(), you're essentially creating a second item in the CreateNewRequest table — you're not updating the same one the form submitted.

That’s why you see an error like "Application name field is missing" — the form submission and patch are disjointed.

If you're inserting one field via Patch and the rest via Form, you should consider patching everything in one call, or using the OnSuccess property of the form to perfom the patch.

Sure, you can try using only patch to update everything instead of doing a mix between SubmitForm and Patch.

Patch(CreateNewRequest, Defaults(CreateNewRequest), { 'Application_x0020_Name': DataCardValue1_1.Text, PermissionLists: Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, ID, ","), Field1: DataCardValueX.Text, Field2: DataCardValueY.Text // Add other fields from the form here manually });

or Try to use the patch only in the onsuccess property here the form still has the context of the form before updating to the data soruce.

Patch(CreateNewRequest, Form1_2.LastSubmit, { 'Application_x0020_Name': DataCardValue1_1.Text, PermissionLists: Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, ID, ",") });
