Power Apps Studio Editor - Erroneous Errors with Option Set/Choice Values

I have a Canvas App that is functioning completely fine. Only every time I open the editor, it is riddled with errors almost everywhere that I reference an Option Set/Choice value:

I am the only developer for my organization so I know for a fact that no option set values have been modified/republished since my last app Studio session. All I have to do to get the errors to go away, in the above example, would be to delete the letter 'n' in "...Status (Opportunities)'].Open" and then retype it exactly as I had it before. All fine, except there's roughly 59 references to these values throughout the app and it's annoying, and potentially distracts from actual errors that need to be addressed.

I have tried clearing my browsers cache while within the studio session to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this?

When did this first occur? Did you make changes to the underlying data structure? If so, did you refresh the data source in Power Apps studio?

Hi @Cosmic_Kitchen

I suspect it might be an update to Power Apps or the New Analysis engine that causes this behaviour.

I've definitely heard of others that have experienced this.

I believe it might be possible to use the Search>Replace option in the editor and to replace "Status (Opportunities)'].Open" with "Status (Opportunities)'].Open". This would have the same effect as what you're doing but it would address the 59 references in one go.

Just to confirm, once you remove an error by retyping it, does stay fixed when you close/reopen the app, or does the error come back?

timl (I'm unable to tag you for some reason), After clearing errors like this, they seem to stay away for a few studio sessions, but then find their way back in. I haven't been able to identify a pattern to when they show up or not.

@ronaldwalcott As to when this first occurred; It's been happening on and off for at least a few months. I should have mentioned in my initial post, but I have tried refreshing the data sources for the app after opening a session and seeing the errors, but just doing that alone doesn't clear the errors automatically. Next time this pops up, I'll try refreshing data sources -> Save -> close current studio session -> open new studio session and see if that does the trick.

Hi @Cosmic_Kitchen

Thanks for the update. I think this is definitely a bug with the editor. I hope Microsoft will fix this.

There's another post today from someone with this same problem.
