Update SharePoint (multi line text column) list using patch is not working

[aisha96cs96]

Hello developers,

I am trying to update 2 columns in my SharePoint list when a button is clicked.

The first column which is a single line updated successfully but the second column which is multi-line text is not updated, any comments why?

I try to combine both updates in one patch and separate them but still, it didn't work, here is the code:

Patch(RequestLegal ,First( Filter( RequestLegal, ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID) ),{'ApproverComments': txtTest.Text});
Patch(RequestLegal ,First( Filter( RequestLegal, ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID) ),{'Approval Status':"Approve"});

The ApproverComments in SharePoint list is a plain text:

Help me how to solve this problem, please.

Hi,

Have you checked the column name, if it is correct ? Also if there are any special characters in text ?

Hi @aisha96cs96 ,

Do you mean that you can not update ApproverComments field successfully?

I've made a similar test but not met the same problem like your description.

Here's my test for your reference:

1) test11 is my test field, its setting:

 2)my textinput setting:

3) my update formula:

Patch(test1,First(test1),{test11:TextInput1.Text})

And I could use this formula to update successfully.

Please check :

1)whether you have required field?

2)whether you use right fieldname, control name?

3)whether your connection is valid?

Best regards,

Dear all,

Thank you I discover my mistake and it was as the following:

I reset the textbox before updating the data that's why it appears empty every time:
