Error trying to retrieve data

Hello everyone,
 
I'm currently building a powerapp to create a user interface for stored personal data around workplace support. The user inputs their data via a form in the PowerApp and the data is (theoretically) sent to and saved on a SharePoint list.
 
This all works fine for me, the owner of the app and the list, however users are having problems with saving as part of the testing phase.
 
This seems to be a permissions issue, and so I have done the following:
Ensuring the SharePoint list permissions allow users to view, edit and create entries on the list, which turned the error to this:
 
 
At this point I wondered if I needed to disinherit permissions from the SharePoint itself as this is set up very privately (as this is sensitive data), adding a new user group with all staff and allowing them contributor permissions. This has moved the error to this:
 
 
Any idea on how my permissions have got so messed up and why this won't save? I am at a bit of a loss currently.
 
Many thanks!

    Hi,
     
    So it always works for you just not them correct?
    So either the site, subsite / folder has permissions column labels something that stopped them.
     
    I would not have disinherited its a bad practice to do and can cause issues later for ALM.
     
    What I would do is, have yourself or one of the users, run the App under Monitor. Then when you capture the error, it will give you more details (usually) .
     
    But here is a simple option. Can the users manually go to the list/site/folder and add things? I would have to review your entire setup at this point, so my suggestion is see who gets this and if you can get them to manually make it work. If you do, then it should work for them in the app.
