Hi all, I have a question regarding the patch function. I get the following error when I try to import content from a collection in PowerApps to Sharepoint. Do you know why? Did I miss something? (See image)

Urlaubsverwaltung = SharePoint List

Urlaubantrag = PowerApps Collection

Thanks in advance

Hi @PowerSäm ,

If the the list contains all the fields (type and named) in the collection, you can do this

Collect( Urlaubsverwaltung; Urlaubantrag )

Note the matching comment - Patch will not work either if they do not match exactly.

Thank you for your quick reply @WarrenBelz .
What do you mean by exactly match? And what is the difference between patch and collect?

@PowerSäm ,

For either to work, every field in the collection needs to exist in both name and type in the list. Collect and Patch are quite different functions and I prefer Collect for this particular use, but theoretically, Patch should work.
