Bug report: Errors function autocomplete fails with special characters

[Meneghino]

Hello PowerApps team.

When using the Errors function with a data source what has special characters (in my case an Access Web App source with a dot in the middle) then there are two bugs:

1. In PowerApps studio, two forms of the same data source are proposed: wrapped in single quotes and not wrapped in single quotes.  The correct choice is to be wrapped in single quotes but the wrong choice should not be proposed as it is for all other functions that take a data source as a parameter.
2. Also in PowerApps studio, when the app is closed and then opened for editing, an error is shown (see screeshot below) when in fact there is no error.  The way to make it go away is to reselect the same choice, but it is annoying to have to do this every time.

Many thanks for all the hard work.

Hi @Meneghino,

Thanks for reporting this.

I tested this and got with the same symptom.

When edit the errors function, PowerApps studio would provide two values regarding the data source, the one without single quote would bring errors when selected;

After close and open the app again, the error formula would show the same error showed in your screenshot.

A workaround for this is to use a collection to replace the errors () function with the items property in your second screen.

The formula I used for the Check Icon Onselect property is the following:

If(SubmitForm(EditForm1),1,And(Navigate(Screen1,ScreenTransition.None),IsBlank(Collect(ErrorData,Errors('datasource')))))

For the items property of the error screen, just use the ErrorData.

I will collect as a feedback.

Regards
