Posted on by praeclarus

Hi, I use Data Table inside Data Card.

and I'd like to save all item from data table to sharepoint list by using data card Update function.

but I can't use ForAll.

This picture is example.

I try with this fomular but it's not work.
ForAll(colData,
Patch(
    tbl_detailActivities,
    LookUp(
        tbl_detailActivities,
        activityNo=DataCardValue17.Text
    ),
    {
        DataSubjectRights: tbl_dataRight.Selected.legalBasisDesc
    }
)
)

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

You're facing an issue because the Update property of a DataCard is meant to return a single record, not multiple records. Since ForAll performs a loop to patch multiple records, it doesn't work inside Update.

Solution Approach (recommended):
Instead of trying to use ForAll inside the DataCard's Update property, handle the save operation outside the form submission process using a button's OnSelect property. You can use ForAll inside a button's OnSelect event like below:

ForAll( colData, Patch( tbl_detailActivities, Defaults(tbl_detailActivities), // If adding new records { activityNo: DataCardValue17.Text, DataSubjectRights: tbl_dataRight.Selected.legalBasisDesc } ) );

➡️This code will loop through colData and create a new record in tbl_detailActivities for each item.

In case, you need to use the Update property of the Datacard, try concatenating the values into a single text field and then splitting it back in Power Automate when saving to SharePoint. But this approach requires additional handling in Power Automate to split and store the data properly.

Concat(colData, activityNo & "|" & tbl_dataRight.Selected.legalBasisDesc & ";")

Hi,

Are you expecting to create a new Record or update ?

If it is create use Defaults(tableName) instead of Lookup
