Posted on by Mohandar

I developed multiple SharePoint List forms using Power Apps, but recently noticed some odd behavior with existing and new Power Apps as follow.

Users create new item fill out Power App form and save the changes and add another item.
- when adding new item it loads one of the previous created item.
- ResetForm(SharePointForm1);NewForm(SharePointForm1);Clear(colAttachments);Remove(colAttachementTypes,{Title: "All"});
I am creating master and detail form, when saving master form SharePoint integration loads first item in the list. Following is the code in form Item property.
- "If(IsBlank(SharePointIntegration.Selected),LookUp(PriceChangeAuthorization,ID = currentPCAID),SharePointIntegration.Selected)"

Please guide what to do on these above issues.

Hi Mohandar

Your issue is that Integrated Apps were never designed to be a record management tool like a Canvas App and the form Item was designed to be based on SharePointIntegrated.Selected (so the user selected a record from SharePoint or created a new one, worked on it, then went back to SharePoint and selected/created another one). Your main problem is that SharePointIntegration.Selected will remain at the record you last selected in SharePoint, even if you create a new item, so the behaviour you are seeing is expected. Also if you start using a Record Variable and give preference to that, it will remain active until you refresh the browser in SharePoint (so subsequent selected records from SharePoint will not display).
I would suggest you consider a Canvas app here.

Hi WarrenBelz,

Thank you for your prompt reply, if it is expected behavior why this is happening now this application is 6 to 8 months old, and I have multiple applications using SharePoint integration and we never had this issue before.

There must be something is changed recently, I am sure other users are or will be facing this issue, is there any better solution instead for redesign whole thing in Canavas App.

Thanks,

Mohandar

Hi Mohandar

Option 2 would be far better (Canvas App). It may have been a recent change, but I have answered a number of similar posts over a long period with the same issue of trying to change records while the app is open with similar issues to yours.
