Posted on by rahulx81x 17

So i need to update a column in a list as soon as a new item is added. One thing i can do is use patch in the OnSuccess property of the form...or use an instant flow to do the same thing. Which one of these is recommended?

    Hi @rahulx81x ,

     

    i would go with using a Patch in the OnSuccess property of the form because is much clear and you reduce the number of flows within a solution to take care of 😊

     

    if this fixed your issue, kindly mark it as solved to help others.

    Thanks
