Good morning all,
I am working on a project with two applications (Apps 1 & Apps2). these two applications on connected
on a sharepoint list (listA).
the first application (Apps1) saves the elements in the listA.
the second application (Apps2) allows you to view the selected entry via a gallery and checks if everything is correct then the person checks it via a toggle (if toggle = true it is verified)
I set up a flow, as soon as an element is modified (toggle = true) then I copy the element in another list then I delete the item in listA.
What happens is that when I modify the item (toggle = true) the flow is executed within 5 minutes after the modification, but the gallery does not update.
the element is always present with the mention "verified" (toggle = true) except that the item has been deleted.
When I update my browser the gallery is updated.
I had set a timer to update my listA, but when the update is done it deselects the item from a gallery that I had selected before.
Do you think it is possible to update the list without its deselecting the item?
Thanks for your help
Thanks for the detailed response. Are your two issues correctly defined by the following 2 points?
So if the second issue is resolved, will you be ok with using the timer to refresh the gallery?
If so, I am curious what the Items property of your form is. Is it Gallery.Selected? If so, can you make the following changes:
Let me know if this helps.

hi @PowerAddict,
thank you very much for your feedback and your attention to my problem.
sorry to come back to you late.
Just to make sure I understand the use case completely, I am listing the steps down. Let me know if I have missed any or if any one is incorrect:
1. There are two apps App1 and App2 (not sure how they fit in here - maybe App1 is a gallery of ListA items and App2 is a gallery of ListB?)
App1 and App2 are very distinct.
They are both connected to the sharepoint ListA list.
2. When a toggle is set to Yes on an item from ListA gallery, the record is added to ListB
App 1 saves the data in the listA then App2 validates the data by pressing the toggle on yes.
There is only one list.
3. Then that record is delete from ListA but your gallery of ListA items.
a flow starts when created or modified. (delay 5 minutes)
When the flow sees the verified field = yes, it creates this element in another list (list B or archive) then deletes the element from list A.
as the gallery does not update automatically. When the item is deleted from listA, it is always present in the gallery.
when you select the deleted item in the gallery, there is an error message stating that the item cannot be found in the list.
4. Your issue is that the gallery of ListA items is getting reset (this is what I am not clear about)
to overcome this problem of updating.
I put a timer which refreshes the list.
however this blocks me from all activity.
(ex: I fill in data in the form, the update blocks me in my advanced and I have to be patient).
I am rather looking for a silent update. see a means only updating the gallery data.
5. You say you want to update the title from powerapps to powertest
it is an item registered in list A and which is selected from the gallery.
as you could see in the picture,
I selected my element, which I wish to modify, (here I wish to modify the title) with the update, what I had typed (powertest) is erased with the update and return to the main title (powerapps)
6. Is this for the same record that just got deleted?
it is an element which is registered in the listA and which I wish to modify
7. If not, is this a diff record that you were working on after setting the toggle to yes for a diff record (which no longer exists)
no it's not a different element.
8. And if this all is true, since the gallery is getting reset, you are losing track of the record that you were working on and the gallery resets to the 1st record?
what you say fits well
thanks,
take care of yourself.
Thank you @WarrenBelz

Hi @Anonymous ,
I will tag one of my colleagues @PowerAddict on this - I have not explored the process you are using.
Hello @WarrenBelz ,
initially, I had created this FLOW:
as soon as there is a modification in the listA
I get the elements and if checked is = true
then I retrieve the attachment then create an item in another list (an archive list)
then when the element is created in the archive list I delete the element in the listA.
But when we select the checked item in powerapps the item being delete I had an error message (normal it no longer exists in the listA).
so I was looking for a way to refresh that gallery.
I set up a timer with a refresh every 10 seconds but when I want to change the title of the document.
(in the example I want to replace the title "powerapps" by powetest "but after 10 but everything resets with the update and I therefore lose what I had informed.)
In any case thank you for the attention you bring to my problem.
Hi @Anonymous ,
A couple of questions
Do you use Refresh(YourDataSorceName) at some point after the Flow runs?
Is there any reason you are using a Flow to update the second list rather then doing it directly from Power Apps?
