Inconsistent patching from button in Power App

I have a button in my Power App that patches different fields to two separate SharePoint lists. Ideally these lists should mirror each other when it comes to "created time" and "created by" columns. We have found over the past month that the second list being wrote to seems to randomly not take the patches.

For example, earlier this month User A pressed the button and it patched both lists. Earlier this week, they pressed the same button and it patched only the first list. There were no updates published to the Power App and these lists did not have their permissions changed.

Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

Can you share the patch code so we can see if there is anything that could cause this in it? Are any of the fields having issues complex column type?

Hi @NMatGWM2 ,

As I cannot tell where the issue might rely, I will suggest a code format that would be helpful if consecutive patching is done or even single and detect if anything failed.
This code helped me as I was doing 4-5 consecutive patches which runs PowerApps code where I observed sometimes operations are fast that it skips the formula at times for Patch.

Use the following syntax:
IfError( Patch(); //Patch 1 Patch(); //Patch 2 , Notify("Error occured", NotificationType.Error, 1000); false; , Notify("Success", NotificationType.Success, 1000); true; )

Hope this helps in executing correctly
