One field is getting reset when saving a form

Posted on by 17

Hello all, I have a form connected to a SharePoint list in my app that has a comments field and few drop-downs, for a few days now I have this issue where whenever an user is editing this form and changes only the comments field it works normally when submitted, but when any other field is edited, or even selected and the form submitted, this one comments field gets completely cleared out upon saving.

I tried changing the Update property to use variable that i set from this field but it did nothing.

Before that this field wasn't modified in any way, besides change of its colors or size. Only logic that is used in this form is linked to the drop-downs, but it isn't in any way depended on the comments field and the comments field isn't depended on anything.

 

Has anyone had seen something like this? Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Okay I fixed it, it turns out that the problem was in the Sharepoint List itself, the column that the comments field was updating was set to append changes to existing text, and changing it to not do that resolved the issue
