Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Goodnight all,

Please I'm also trying to patch a collection in a search box but it really doesn't finish;

My code:

 

If(
 !IsBlank(DataCardValue128),
 If(
 Form6.Mode = FormMode.New,
 ForAll(
 DemandeAchatActifCollection,
 Patch(
 DemandeAchatActif,
 Defaults(DemandeAchatActif),
 {
 ActifId:
 {
 '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
 Id:ActifCollectionId,
 Value:ActifCollection
 },
 DemandeAchatId:
 {
 Id: Form1_10.LastSubmit.DemandeAchatId,
 Value:Form1_10.LastSubmit.Code
 }
 }
 )
 );
 );
 Form6.Updates; NewForm(Form6)
);

 

the error is located here please:

 

 ActifId:
 {
 '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
 Id:ActifCollectionId,
 Value:ActifCollection
 },

 

Error message : the liste item could not be inserted or updated because invalid lookup values were found for the following fields in the list

 

Please help Me

    Hi @Anonymous ，

     

    The error message indicates that the value in the Patch function is not in the LookUp field, you need to confirm that in the collection ActifCollectionId and ActifCollection fields are containing the correct values. I am suspecting that whether ActifCollection is a field of the collection DemandeAchatActifCollection or not.

     

    Besides, you could try and modify the formula as below:

    If(
 !IsBlank(DataCardValue128),
 If(
 Form6.Mode = FormMode.New,
 ForAll(
 DemandeAchatActifCollection As DD,
 Patch(
 DemandeAchatActif,
 Defaults(DemandeAchatActif),
 {
 ActifId:
 {
 '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
 Id:DD.ActifCollectionId,
 Value:DD.ActifCollection
 },
 DemandeAchatId:
 {
 Id: Form1_10.LastSubmit.DemandeAchatId,
 Value:Form1_10.LastSubmit.Code
 }
 }
 )
 );
 );
 Form6.Updates; NewForm(Form6)
);

     

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @v-jefferni 

    i just added your code but i have practically the same error and everything seems to be correct i am really lost

    If(
 !IsBlank(DataCardValue128),
 If(
 Form6.Mode = FormMode.New,
 ForAll(
 DemandeAchatActifCollection As DD,
 Patch(
 DemandeAchatActif,
 Defaults(DemandeAchatActif),
 {
 ActifId:
 {
 '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedReference",
 Id:DD.ActifCollectionId,
 Value:DD.ActifCollection
 },
 DemandeAchatId:
 {
 Id: Form1_10.LastSubmit.DemandeAchatId,
 Value:Form1_10.LastSubmit.Code
 }
 }
 )
 );
 );
 Form6.Updates; NewForm(Form6)
);

    My collection: 

    Collect(DemandeAchatActifCollection, {ActifCollection:DataCardValue128.Selected.Value, ActifCollectionId: CountRows(DemandeAchatActifCollection)+1})

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Just noticed that you are patching a collection rather than a list. Please try another method using LookUp function to populate a record from the destination list of the LookUp column:

    If(
 !IsBlank(DataCardValue128),
 If(
 Form6.Mode = FormMode.New,
 ForAll(
 DemandeAchatActifCollection As DD,
 Patch(
 DemandeAchatActif,
 Defaults(DemandeAchatActif),
 {
 ActifId:
 LookUp(Choices(List.LookUpColumnName), Value = DD.ActifCollection)
 ,
 DemandeAchatId:
 {
 Id: Form1_10.LastSubmit.DemandeAchatId,
 Value:Form1_10.LastSubmit.Code
 }
 }
 )
 );
 );
 Form6.Updates; NewForm(Form6)
);

     

    Hope this helps.
