Hello is there anyway that I could do to make my collection refresh automatically when I input an entry to the sharepoint list I have.

I have this clearcollect() on my sharepoint list and I've noticed that when I try to submit an entry it doesn't show up on my gallery when I try to submit an entry. It needs to refresh the browser in order to get the entry I've submitted.

Thank you!

Re: Refreshing the collection automatically

@eka24 I came across this forum and I chanced upon this qns. My collection is located at the Onstart because I need it to load when the user login. Additionally, I have also put a patch and clear collect code on my submit button. However, when I navigate back to the gallery, it does not show the latest items. How should I go around doing this?

The issue is where is your Collection located?
1. If OnVisible of the screen, ensure you navigte to a different screen and back before it will be refreshed
2. If it located OnStart, you have to restart the App before it will be refreshed
3. If it OnSelect of a Button, then click the button after you submit data
4. If you are you are using a form, you can put the collection OnSuccess of the form
5. Then you can also refresh the Datasource

Hi @Marlin-A

Just add Refresh(<yourdatasource>) at the end of your code execution.

Hope it helps you
