Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

My issue is strange, in the PowerApps builder everything works fine. However in production when playing the app I run into the issue.

I have one Main_Form on Screen_1 and then 6 child forms on different screens. The child forms are joined in SharePoint lists using number columns to store the ID from the item saved in Main_Form. The child forms are saved in the OnSuccess function of Main_Form using consecutive (not concurrent - but I've tried both) SubmitForm() calls.

So in all the child forms there is a ParentId field which has a default value of Main_Form.LastSubmit.ID. The Main_Form is saved using a button replicated on each screen which simply uses SubmitForm(Main_Form). If I use the save button on Screen_1 everything works. However, if I try to use the save button (which is exactly the same) on any other screen the child forms fail to get the Main_Form.LastSubmit.ID value.

I've tried creating test buttons from scratch outside of any containers or canvas sections and still no luck. As a workaround, I added a navigation step in the other screens to first navigate to Screen_1 and then call SubmitForm(Main_Form) and that seems to work. I've just never ran into this issue before. Especially weird that it works perfectly when editing the app in the builder.

I also tried toggling on "Keep recently visited screens in memory" with no luck. I'm using the following features:
