I am trying to update 3 columns relating to potentially multiple lines of source data within a sharepoint list. Below is a screenshot of the gallery for which the source data is a collection (checkedrow).

Using the "Confirmed Received" button i am updating the collection to a new collection called (CollGRNUpdate) using the 3 dropdowns. From here i want to patch my source data list "Requisition Line Item" with an update where the "Item Number" matches the "ItemNumber" in my collection (CollGRNUpdate). I have come up with the below code but it doesn't appear to be working.

ClearCollect(
CollGRNUpdate,
{
ItemNumber: Label25.Text,
GRNStatus: ddGRNStatusUpdate.SelectedText,
ReceivedBy: ComboBoxGRNUpdateReceivedBy.Selected,
DeliveredDate: DatePickerdeliveredDate.SelectedDate
}
);

ForAll(
CollGRNUpdate,
Patch('Requisition Line Item',
LookUp('Requisition Line Item','Item Number' = CollGRNUpdate,ItemNumber),
{
'GRN Notice Confirmed': GRNStatus.Value,
'Received by': ReceivedBy,
'Delivered Date': DeliveredDate
}
);

Clear(checkedRow);

Set(VarGRNConfirmationReceived,false)

Hi @Massingc1983 ,

Try this

Patch( 'Requisition Line Item', ForAll( CollGRNUpdate As aCol, With( { wID: LookUp( 'Requisition Line Item', 'Item Number' = aCol.ItemNumber ).ID }, { ID: wID, 'GRN Notice Confirmed': aCol.GRNStatus.Value, 'Received by': aCol.ReceivedBy, 'Delivered Date': aCol.DeliveredDate } ) ) );

I will offer some fundamental advice here that may assist with this and future ForAll() exercises. It is not designed to be a Loop, although it can work this way with considerable performance penalty as it does an individual Patch for each record. ForAll() creates a Table, which can be patched in one action provided its content is correct. For new records, this is simply a Table with field names and field types matching the list. For existing records, including the SharePoint record ID in the table causes it to update that record for each of the Table records.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi @Massingc1983,

If possible I would switch to an implicit save method. With that method, you would patch the specific column for the specific record OnChange of the control. With that, you wouldn't need to create a "Submit" button or collect a collection of updates.

However, if you need an explicit save, I would use something like this for your saving action:

ForAll( CollGRNUpdate As ItemToUpdate, Patch( 'Requisition Line Item', LookUp( 'Requisition Line Item', 'Item Number' = ItemToUpdate.ItemNumber ), { 'GRN Notice Confirmed': ItemToUpdate.GRNStatus.Value, 'Received by': ItemToUpdate.ReceivedBy, 'Delivered Date': ItemToUpdateDeliveredDate } ) );

Hi @TonkaTrucks

Thank you for you reply. I think i am nearly there however am getting an error within the patch section of the formula which says

"Issue Invalid argument type. Expecting a Record Value but of a different schema."

I am struggling to find a fix?

@Massingc1983 ,

Please tag me if you need me further - you might note my comment on ForAll structure - it is much quicker and more efficient.

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure i fully understand the quote reference for all function. Or at least i am not sure how to apply it in this situation?

thank you also for the code suggestion. I get the following error when applying it:

"Issue - Invalid Argument type (table). Expecting a Record Value instead."

I am not sure how to fix this.

Thank you for your help i will get there eventually!!
