Hello Sandeep Gunda,

You are using Collect() inside a Dataverse function. Dataverse functions are server-side and stateless. However Collect(), ClearCollect(), Any operation that modifies a collection is NOT supported in Dataverse Functions.

Instead of Collect(), update the table directly using Patch in the dataverse function.

Patch(
MyTable,
LookUp(MyTable, MyTableId = recordId),
{
Status: 'My Global Choice'.Active
}
)

Hello Sandeep Gunda,

Thanks for sharing the information !

My view here is " Your Power Fx function is referencing a Global Option Set value by its label or environment-specific name, not by a stable, solution-aware reference. When you deploy to a new environment: Global Option Set labels may differ and Option Set internal names or numeric values may not match. Power Fx validates expressions at import time which results "Name" isn't valid. "

Would it be possible to paste your Collect() formula here and internal option set internal names ?
