(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BenGillard

I am curently using the following to add records to SP which works great.

Patch(PIOT,Defaults(PIOT),Form2.Updates,Form3.Updates,Form4.Updates,Form5.Updates)

Whats the best way for me to know it has posted succesfully to SP and get a pop up saying successful?

 

Thanks in advance

    Good question. Unfortunately, the documention is thin on areas such as error handling. But perhaps try the following:

     

    Patch('data source name', ...);If(Not(IsEmpty(Errors('data source name'))),Navigate(ErrorScreen,ScreenTransition.None),Navigate('Success Screen',ScreenTransition.None))

     

    Of course, the above is navigating to different screens, replace the navigate with calls to the notify function to get a banner at the top of the current screen.

    Hi @BenGillard,

    Do you want to check if the Patch formula executes successfully?

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the Errors function could achieve your needs. I have made a test on my side, please check the following workaround:1.JPG

    Set the OnSelect property of the "Patch" button to following formula:

    If(
     IsEmpty(Errors('20190108_MainList', Patch('20190108_MainList', Defaults('20190108_MainList'),{Title: "PowerApps"}))), 
     Notify("Patch Record Successfully!",NotificationType.Success), 
     Notify("Patch Record Failed!", NotificationType.Error)
    )

    On your side, you should type following:

    If(
 IsEmpty(Errors(PIOT, Patch(PIOT, Defaults(PIOT), Form2.Updates, Form3.Updates, Form4.Updates, Form5.Updates))), 
 Notify("Patch Record Successfully!", NotificationType.Success), 
 Notify("Patch Record Failed!", NotificationType.Error)
)

    Please check the attached GIF screeshot for more details:
