Network Error when Using Patch Function Because of people Column

Posted on by 96

Hello all,

 

I am receiving a network error when patching from a gallery to a SharePoint list - The odd thing is this was working yesterday and then this morning it is not. Here is the error and my code: Code.PNG

 I've done some digging and determined the primary issue must be located in my AssignedTo parameter because when I remove that it seems to function perfectly, but like I said that was working yesterday so I'm confused about what has changed.

 

I have Microsoft 365 Users connected as a data connector. When I was playing around trying to troubleshoot I noticed that if I remove that connector and then reconnect it, it will patch once successfully and then throw the error again. I'm still new to power apps and feeling a bit out of my depth with figuring this one out. 

 

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!!

    You have the Claims part with the email section variable "AssignedToLB" and also the Display Name part with that variable too. Is that variable storing an email or a plain text name? If it's an email it's probably erroring putting it into Display Name, if it's a name it's erroring on the Claims section would be my first guess.

     

    I'd start by making sure that it's an email and remove it from the Display Name bit - it shouldn't need any other fields if you get the Claims right

    Thanks for replying @crispybits1977, love your name btw, I think you were spot on with that catch everything seems to be patching correctly now. I kind of frankenstiended that bit together from a few different online resources so not surprised it wasn't perfect. Thanks again!
