Power Apps with Sharepoint List - Intermittent save issue

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by stehar

I have a Canvas Model App, with a Save Button - which Submits a Form, From data is saved into sharepoint online.

This has been for a long time, and is working sometimes, causing an issue at other times when saving - sometimes the data is not always saved into sharepoint online.

i.e. It will work sometimes and not others, does not matter about the record, but it is mainly around using long Multi Text Fields in Sharepoint is where the problem mainly is seen.

Is there a way of being notified if it does not save ?

Is there anyway of troubleshooting such as intermittent issue ?

Example Save Action:

SubmitForm(Form_PartnerOverview);SubmitForm(Form_PartnerPlan);Notify( "SAVE SUCCESSFUL", NotificationType.Success, 50 );Navigate(Home);

Thanks

Intermittent save issues in Power Apps with SharePoint Online can be challenging to troubleshoot. Here are a few suggestions to help you diagnose and address the problem:
Review SharePoint Online limits: SharePoint Online has certain limitations, such as character limits for text fields. Ensure that the data you're trying to save doesn't exceed these limits. Additionally, check if there are any specific SharePoint Online restrictions or quotas that could be impacting the save operation.
Monitor error messages: Enclose your save action within a Try-Catch block to capture any errors that may occur during the save operation. In the Catch block, you can use the Notify function to display an error message to the user and log the error details for debugging purposes. For example:

Try SubmitForm(Form_PartnerOverview); SubmitForm(Form_PartnerPlan); Notify("Save successful", NotificationType.Success, 50); Navigate(Home); Catch (Error) Notify("Save failed: " & Error.Message, NotificationType.Error); Log("Save failed: " & Error.Message, LogSeverity.Error);

This will help you identify specific error messages when the save operation fails.
Enable data validation: Implement data validation rules to ensure that the form data meets the necessary requirements before submitting. You can use functions like IsMatch or IsEmpty to validate the input values. By validating the data before saving, you can prevent invalid or incomplete data from being submitted.
Check network connectivity: Intermittent save issues can sometimes be related to network connectivity problems. Verify that you have a stable internet connection, and if possible, try saving the data from different network environments to see if the issue persists.
Test on different devices and browsers: Try running your Power App on different devices and browsers to see if the save issue is specific to a particular environment. This can help determine if the issue is related to the Power App itself or the underlying infrastructure.
Review SharePoint Online logs: Check the SharePoint Online logs or enable auditing features to gather more information about the intermittent save issue. The logs can provide insights into any errors or issues occurring during the save operation.
Engage Microsoft Support: If the issue persists and you're unable to resolve it through troubleshooting, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance. They can help investigate the issue in-depth and provide guidance tailored to your specific environment.
By following these steps, you should be able to gather more information about the intermittent save issue and work towards resolving it.

Hi I found a dead form link, that was causing a occasional occasional weird behavior in the save process, all seems ok now.
