I'm struggling with patch and error handling sequence ! I've no errors all is working but just not in the order I want ! 🙂

So I have multiple patch functions to different lists, they are sequentially done separated by ;

If first patch fails for what ever reason I want to catch the errors in the in a collection , show a message and don't continue the sequence and they can try again. Sounds easy and that part is ! got that working fine. However I want to do 3 things if the first patch fails and I can't do them concurrently (when I can put concurrent infront of the actions it works fine) The way I have it set up now if the first patch fails then it does all the things it's supposed to do but then it goes and sends the second patch ! I don't want that.. so I' know it's a matter of changing where brackets and syntax is but just don't know how to do it ! here's what I currently have

Patch1 Actions ending with ;

If(!IsEmpty(Errors('mydatasource')),
Concurrent(Set(snothervariable,false),
UpdateContext({adialoguebox:true}),
Collect(myerrorcollection,AddColumns(Errors('mydatasource'),
column1,"text1",
column2,"text2",
TimeStamp,Now()

)))
;SaveData(myerrorcollection,"LocalErrors");
ForAll(myerrorcollection,Patch(
 'anerrorlogdatasource',
 Defaults('anerrorlogdatasource'),
 {column1:text1,
 column2:text2,
 ErrorMessage:Message,
 ErrorCode:Error,
 TimeStampOfError:TimeStamp
 })

),


2nd patch acion here...

So as I said above all works but it appears to send the 2nd patch action even if the first one doesn't work... If remove the collection and save local data and any ; just concurrently doing stuff it works as expected...

hopefully you can follow the above !

TIA

Hi @vffdd ,

A bit of bracketing - you need to close the Concurrent I think (but you do not really need it as you are not reading from or writing to a data source)

If(
 !IsEmpty(Errors('mydatasource')),
 Concurrent(
 Set(
 snothervariable,
 false
 ),
 UpdateContext({adialoguebox:true})
 );
 Collect(
 myerrorcollection,
 AddColumns(
 Errors('mydatasource'),
 column1,
 "text1",
 column2,
 "text2",
 TimeStamp,
 Now()
 )
 );
 SaveData(
 myerrorcollection,
 "LocalErrors"
 );
 ForAll(
 myerrorcollection,
 Patch(
 'anerrorlogdatasource',
 Defaults('anerrorlogdatasource'),
 {
 column1:text1,
 column2:text2,
 ErrorMessage:Message,
 ErrorCode:Error,
 TimeStampOfError:TimeStamp
 }
 )
 ),
 Patch(
 2nd Patch . . . .
