Hi Folks,

Unable to submit my Canvas app (version 3.24122.12) to my SharePoint list, using SubmitForm(). No error messages presented. My Submit button appears to do nothing.

Worked fine on 3.24121.10 last month.

Anyone else experience this?

Hi DubGrub

Have you tried running a Monitor session to see if that returns any errors? Also, have there been any changes to your SharePoint list?

Hi timl,

Thanks for your suggestions. I ran the monitor. This was logged when I clicked the Submit button:

Runtime error - submitFormAsync - Message : there was a problem saving your changes . The data source may be invalid.

Just some context: I have a multi-screen Power Apps form. My data source is a SharePoint online list. I have an edit form on each screen (with different fields presented on each screen). As the user progresses through the screens, I am storing the values in a gblCurrentRecord. I have a Master screen with a Master form (patching the gblCurrentRecord with each of my form.Updates) and using SubmitForm(MasterForm). The Master form is hidden from the user as it is meant for submitting purposes only.

My Submit button is on a different screen to the Master form.

Update: After moving the Master form to the same screen as my Submit button, my form submitted successfully. Could it be an issue with the Submit button being on a different screen? As mentioned, app working fine last month.

Hi DubGrub
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately it sounds as though the update to Power Apps has broken this functionality.

I'm not sure if this will help but it might be worth experimenting with this feature.

Maybe that might help resolve the issue with the submit button being on a different screen.

Alternatively, does rolling back the authoring version help?
