Variable set not being detected

I am having a strange problem, I have not used power apps in a couple of months and there seems to have been some updates.

I want to patch additional data to the last submitted list item.

On the "On Success" property of the form I have this. It is not detecting the variable I have set 2 lines up, this is very strange, I cant get my head around it.

Set(formid_handover, Form2.LastSubmit.ID);

Patch('Shift Handover Form List',
 LookUp('Shift Handover Form List', ID = formid_handover),
 {'Aircraft List ID': currentAircraftID
 });

Navigate('View BOW')

I have a lot of working apps this way.

Thanks for your help.

No that won't work how can you call a variable set in the next statement?

Yes I have, how can you lookup on a field which does not exist yet?

In the OnStart property of the app I set Set(formid_handover, 0) and it worked, looks like a bug to me.
