Button to refresh data from a planner in powerapps

Posted on by GS11

Hello,

I'm trying to create an internal refresh in my app to update the gallery items that are connected to a task list from MS planner after creating a new task but it seems to not work properly.

Right now the code is:

If(Checkbox.Text = "true", Planner.UpdateTask(Gallery.Selected.id,{percentComplete:"Completed"}));

NOTE: The function refresh doesn't work for a planner database as it works for other database types.

Could someone please help me?

Hi @GS11,

Do you want to display the updated task in your Gallery after you update the task?

To update the tasks in the Gallery, I think you could try to generate a collection to list all the tasks using a button:

Add a button control and set its Onselect property to:

Set(A,Planner.ListMyPlansV2().value)

Note this is just an example, you could use the correct action to list the needed tasks, here I just list my plans.

Set Gallery Items property to the variable:

A

Hello @v-qiaqi-msft!

Thanks for your answer. Actually, I have a gallery that shows the tasks from a planner and I have a button to add new tasks in the planner.

What I want to accomplish is to after adding a new task, display a button to refresh the gallery data and what it exhibit without having to F5 or refresh the whole page.

If I wasn't clear enough, please let me know!

Hi @GS11,

I know what you want to achieve, to refresh all the tasks in the Gallery, right?

However, as you know, refresh Gallery could not refresh all the tasks from planner task connector. So, I create a button to collect all the tasks by clicking it, which will collects all the tasks including the latest updated ones.

Hope you could understand my logic on this case, refreshing planner tasks is impossible, but we could collect tasks after you update a certain task.

All roads lead to Rome, even this is not the direct one.
