Saving data from Edit Form using a post action - Not working

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am unable to save data from an edit form. The form uses the row selected from a data list to display in the edit form. I have a custom connector that has two actions (GetCustomers - gets ALL customers for the data list AND PostCustomer - *should* save data upon clicking on the save button below the edit form. I have something wrong/ some misunderstanding how this should work.

I started with "Save Form(EditForm)," but I was told that would not work for custom connectors. Now I have DefPocApi.CustomersPostCustomer({Customer}) - this is not correct either.

Connector Name: DefPocApi

Action: CustomersPostCustomer - should save {Customer}.

I would appreciate any help

Hi pfg123,

There is a SubmitForm function in PowerApps but no SaveForm function.

Not sure if you are using the right function, please try again with SubmitForm function.

More details about SubmitForum function, please see here:

Hi Mabel Mao,

I mistyped "SaveForm", I meant SubmitForm. My problem happens when I pull a list of data to a gallery from a GET REST API call to a connector I have created. This pulls the data fine. I then have a button in each record which will pull the gallery's selected item and put these data into an Edit Form. That works fine, too. The issue is when I want to UPDATE fields on the record. The data source to update is not the gallery the selected record comes from but the ubnderlying sql database that should be updated by a PUT rest call. The PUT rest call works fine when testing my connector, but I have no idea what the button should call: SubmitForm(customerEditForm) or MyRestApiConnector.PutCustomer(????).

I cannot find any end-to-end examples for this. I have spent hours Googling and looking thru this forum.

Do you (or anyone) have any further ideas/examples?

Thanks,
Pat
